It explores the profound revolution in the way of thinking, and in particular the successful refutation of the school of thought inherited from the Greeks, which focused on the perfection and immutability of the celestial world. In addition, the emergence of the scientific method and the adoption of mathematics as the central tool in scientific endeavors are discussed. The book then explores the delicate thread between pure philosophy, grand unifying theories, and verifiable real-life scientific facts. Lastly, it turns to Kepler’s crucial 3rd law and shows how it was derived from a mere six data points, corresponding to the six planets known at the time. Written in a straightforward and accessible style, the book will inform and fascinate all aficionados of science, history, philosophy, and, in particular, astronomy.. | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | 关键词 | Birth of scientific method; History of Astronomy; History of scientific method; The Scientific Revoluti | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-51744-1 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-51743-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-51744-1 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
