The Scientific Revolution

Revolution is a term that means changing which is accelerated by some powers. In the history, thera are many types of revolutions can be seen as scientific Revolution. Scientific revolution is used with “the” due to making that concept as phrase [1]. The concept of “The Scientific Revolution” was firstly used by Alexandre Koyre in 1939. At 1954, “The Scientific Revolution” was used as a title of A. Rupert Hall's book [2]. According to these acquirements, it can be said that, the idea of “The Scientific Revolution” was firstly comed out in the year of 1939. After that time, the concept of scientific revolution was studied till now and it is also studying at the present day. As a concept of “revolution” indicates that radical and irreversible reordering that can be developed with the time [3]. Thus, the scientific revolution can be used for explaining the developments the ideas about the natural world and the thoughts of the humans.

The philosophers as Aristotle, Copernicus, Newton, Darwin and so on played a significant role at the process of the scientific revolution. These philosophers are the inducers of the revolution on the science. Firstly, they had some ideas that can be used for the changing the world. After that, they tried to develop their ideas and they made some concrete things to express their ideas. These are the firstly seen events for the scientific revolution. That leads the world to be changes at the lights of the inventions of the philosophers. It can be said that, scientific revolution began after the Renaissance and it did not end. However, it seems as it has been ended at the 19^th century.

To explain briefly, it can be said that there can be one or more scentific revolution. As the concept of the revolution, it can be one so it must be started and ended. By the looking the definition of science as it is a sistematic and developing ideas which changes the world and view of the world, it can not be ended and it can be continuing. Science and the inventions of the science are continuous, thus the scientific revolution can not be finished and it will be continue. However, at the present the alterations that can be outcomed by the science can not change the world as it was changed the world at the early times. The changes and the effects of the changes also change from time to time. To give an example, for the early times the invention of the something affects the world negatively and mostly positively a lot. However, at the present time, many things are invented but they do not change the world throughout. The inventions of the present times are just have influence on the world as negatively or postively but they can not change the world overall. This can be happen because of the, initial changes happened at the past times. On the light of that knowledge, it can be said the scientific revolution has been ended due to there is not any overall changes for the world by the outcome of the inventions of the science.

To sum up, scientific revolution is a kind of continious movement that leads to learn something everday. There are many things to learn and there is always some to learn. With these new things that are learned, the world changes everyday. In the text books, it is written as in 1759, the French mathematician Jean Lerond d'Alemert had a description for the revolution that can be called as the scientific revolution afterwards. The scientific revolution that have culturally associated affects on the world related with well known philosophers as Galileo, Kepler, Descartes and Newton. In 1759, D'Alembert thought that these movements that are related science, are the movements of the scientific revolution and that is still in progress and was continually acelerating [4]. The scientific revolution can not be ended till there is nothing to learn in the world which is impossible.
