Chapter 16: Toward a New Heaven and a New Earth: The Scientific Revolution and the Emergence of Modern Society Chapter Summary In the Scientific Revolution, Western Europe disproved the idea of a geocentric universe and of the old Ptolemaic-Aristotelian view of the world and a new conception of the universe was born. New conception: the sun at the center of the universe, planets as material bodies revolving around the sun in elliptical orbits, infinite rather than finite world. Nicolaus Copernicus: heliocentric universe; Johannes Kepler: elliptical orbits of planets; Galileo Galilei: observed moon and sunspots with telescope = discovered universe is composed of material substance; Isaac Newton: law of gravity.
