Answer 1

10 Key-events of Scientific Revolution are as follows:-

• 1600- Galileo Galilei discovers the concept or theory of inertia which helped in developing the phase for a logical view of motion of various objects.
• 1609- Johannes Kepler issues his first two planetary laws of motion which revealed that the planets move around the sun in certain elliptical orbits.
• 1610- John Napier publishes tables of logarithms which is helpful in showing how they are useful in order to accelerate calculations.
• 1619- Kepler publishes his third planetary law of motion which helps to relate the time taken for a planet in order to orbit the sun.
• 1629- Niccolo Cabeo discovers the two types of electric charge and observes that both the charges are attractive and repulsive forces acting.
• 1632- William Oughtred develops the slide rule.With the merged power of slide rule as well as logarithms,the calculation speeds blow up.
• 1637- Rene Descartes develops the Cartesian coordinate system i.e. the x-y axis for graphs which helps in permitting changes in quantities with time to be represented.
• 1652- Thomas Bartholin discovers the human lymphatic system which is considered an organ system in vertebrates which forms a part of the immune system as well as the circulatory system.
• 1654- Pierre de Fermat and Blaise Pascal develop the mathematics of statistics and probability which is considered as one of the most important inventions in the history of mathematics.
• 1656- Christian Huygens discovers the rings of Saturn after developing a new telescope which is considered as the world's best.
