The Birth of Science
 |
Description
Book Introduction
The scene where Archimedes of ancient Greece realized the principle of volume in his bath and shouted 'Eureka!' is a familiar scene to us.
The scene where Galileo repeated, "And yet the Earth moves," is also one of the famous scenes in the history of science.
But at this point, there is something that makes you question something.
What happened in the long gap between Archimedes and Galileo?
The nearly millennium-long so-called Dark Ages, a time when scientific progress was hampered by religion and divinity, is said to have been a time when science truly "jumped" from ancient Greece to the heliocentric theory. This book explores the neglected aspects of the path leading to the birth of modern science, exploring alchemy, the occult, and magic from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance and the Age of Exploration, revealing how the foundations of modern science were laid.
In fact, most of the chemical elements and colorful compounds we know were first discovered in secret alchemical chambers, and through the Renaissance and the development of empiricism, magic transformed into a method of science, magic based on experimentation and observation.
This book can restore a thousand years of science that were omitted from world history books, in addition to the politics, economy, and society of the Middle Ages, and fill in the gaps in readers' historical memories.

Into the book
The revolution in space that began with Copernicus was finally completed by Newton, who elucidated the physical order of the solar system through Kepler and Robert Hooke.
Although Copernicus advocated a geometrical transition from a geocentric to a heliocentric system, it was Kepler and Newton who provided the physical and dynamical basis for it.
Their central argument was the concept of gravitational force acting between celestial bodies.
In 1600, William Gilbert saw the Earth not as a motionless lump of dirt, but as a magnet with an active force.
In 1609, Kepler, inspired by the word magnet, proposed that the Sun exerts a magnetic force on the planets.
Subsequently, Newton derived the concept of universal gravitation, which is inversely proportional to the square of the distance and proportional to each mass, from Kepler's laws of planetary motion.
Through this series of processes, a new cosmological model was born that replaced the Aristotelian-Ptolemaic model that had dominated for nearly two thousand years.
