    The scientific revolution began in the 1600s as important leaders sought to explain the universe through scientific theories and experimentation rather than relying solely on Church doctrine. Some key figures included Copernicus, who proposed that the Earth and planets revolve around the sun; Galileo, who used the telescope to discover moons orbiting Jupiter and support the Copernican model; and Isaac Newton, who developed theories of gravity, motion, and calculus that furthered the scientific understanding of the natural world. The scientific revolution established scientific thought and the scientific method of testing hypotheses through observation and experimentation.
