Title: | Infinitely Reasonable: Science Revises the Heavens (Program 5 from The Day the Universe Changed) |
Speaker: | James Burke (Virtual) Science Historian James Burke Institute |
Abstract: | This program explains how from 1550 and forward science began to undermine the Church-sanctioned Aristotelian doctrine of the universe, in which the Sun and all the planets revolved around the Earth. In its place, was established the model to which we adhere today of a clockwork universe, governed by discoverable laws of math and physics. |
