The Science Revolution is an important time in world history. "Why," you ask? Because all the scientists back then were the reason why we know so much today.
Copernicus was a scientist who came up with the heliocentric theory. The heliocentric theory was a theory about the sun being in the middle, with the Earth and other planets circling around it. Kepler, another scientist, proved that the planets did not circle around the sun, but went around it in an elliptical, or oval, shaped way. Sir Isaac Newton made theories (also known as laws) about motion. He discovered gravity, and also predicted a force that held the Solar System together. Galileo Galilei made the heliocentric theory true in 1992, when Pope John Paul II accepted Galileo's theory, and admitted that he should never have been taken of heresy.
