The Scientific Revolution, spanning from 1543 to 1687, marked the emergence of modern science with breakthroughs in mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology, and chemistry. It began with Copernicus's heliocentric model and concluded with Newton's laws of motion and gravitation. This period saw a methodological shift towards empiricism and the scientific method, profoundly altering our understanding of the natural world and laying the groundwork for future scientific endeavors.
