Chapter 16 (477-488)

The European birth of modern science was a way of thinking that no one had ever imagined before. They relied on cosmos, experiments, observations, general laws expressed in mathematical terms instead of on external authority of divine scriptures. This would have been an amazing things to witness. Seeing people go where no one has ever gone before is harder to come across in our generation and era. The idea that science, evolution and understanding the domains of life in general, had not been discovered yet blows my mind. Eventually the ideas and discoveries that had been born by the European birth of modern science matched up with the industrial revolution. This was a time that many marvels of modern production and mechanisms for means of destruction evolved today. By the 20th century science was a marker of modernity throughout the world. The break through that awakened the world all started from a writer and his book. The author was Nicolaus Copernicus and his book was On the Revolutions of he Heavenly Spheres. This book gave light to the idea that the earth actually revolves around the sun rather then visa versa. This broke the idea that God created our planet and made it the center of the universe. The most well known contributors to the science progression of the 19th century were Karl Marx, Charles Darwin, Isaac Newton, and Sigmund Freud.
