Humanism is a philosophical and cultural movement that emphasizes the value and agency of human beings, individually and collectively.

Humanism is not characterized by a rejection of traditional authority, but rather by a critical examination of it.

Francesco Petrarca is considered to be the father of humanism due to his emphasis on the importance of individual experience and his critical examination of traditional authority.

Humanism had a profound impact on the development of the scientific revolution by encouraging a greater emphasis on observation and experimentation, a more critical approach to traditional knowledge, and a more open and tolerant intellectual climate.

Isaac Newton is not a major figure of the scientific revolution, but rather of the Enlightenment.

The heliocentric theory is the theory that the sun is the center of the universe and that the planets revolve around it.

Nicolaus Copernicus first proposed the heliocentric theory in his book (De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium) in 1543.

The heliocentric theory had a profound impact on the scientific revolution by leading to a new understanding of the universe, challenging the authority of the Church, and leading to the development of new scientific instruments.

The scientific method is a method of inquiry based on observation, experimentation, and hypothesis testing.

Francis Bacon is considered to be the father of the scientific method due to his emphasis on the importance of observation and experimentation.

The scientific method had a profound impact on the scientific revolution by leading to a more systematic and rigorous approach to scientific inquiry, encouraging a more open and tolerant intellectual climate, and leading to the development of new scientific instruments.

The theory of evolution is not a major scientific discovery of the scientific revolution, but rather of the 19th century.

The scientific revolution had a profound impact on society by leading to a new understanding of the natural world, leading to the development of new technologies, and challenging traditional beliefs and values.
