Scientific Revolution: Crash Course European History #12

Показать описание

There was a lot of bad stuff going on in Europe in the 17th century. We've seen wars, plagues, and unrest of all types. But, there is some good news. Huge advances were underway in the scientific community in Europe at this time. In this video we'll look at the progress of knowledge with Galileo, Copernicus, Kepler, Harvey, Newton, and more.

You *can* turn lead into gold, but (1) the process costs more than the gold is worth, and (2) the gold produced is radioactive.

I’m new to this series, but is John Green speaking SLOWER?!?!

I still think John Green has his humor it just subtle. It was funny the way he screamed and put down Yoric's skull. That was funny for me. John Green you're still funny to me. Keep up the wonderful work.

Let me be the first to reiterate: "Knowledge is power, France is bacon!"

The colour scheme of his shirt is so perfect for the backdrop, specifically the frames map on the wall

WOW I haven't watched Crash Course in many months. You have slowed down your speech DRAMATICALLY and it's amazing... so much easier to watch, so much easier to understand. I never understood why you spoke so fast in old videos. It was rattling. Well done in improving the lessons.

Europe: well now time to conquer most of the world

Shoutout to my man Giordano Bruno. He also advocated for the idea that all the stars in the sky were suns that had their own planets around them, and that they might foster life of their own. There's a very cool bronze statue of him in Rome, and he is honored with a bas-relief statue among the likes of Albert Einstein, Nicolaus Copernicus, and Isaac Newton as a father of space exploration in Russia's Cosmonaut Museum. RIP a true martyr of science.

Anybody else forced to watch this for a quarantine project

Someone ought do more research on Giordano Bruno. He was burned at the stake but NOT for teaching Copernicus' Heliocentric findings. Rather it was for not teaching the Trinity, transubstantiation and religious heresy.

You're missing some parts, Bruno did not only preach heliocentrism he also put down many of the same problems with the catholic church as Huss and Luther later would, those statements are what got him burned. And part of the reason the church reacted so badly to Galileo was because if he proved that Bruno had been right about one thing people may start thinking he had been right about some of the stuff the church felt more strongly about.
Before Bruno the church had actually been quite supportive of the quest to understand the solar system, some popes had even advocated heliocentism themselves.
