European natural science also develops with great success, so strongly influenced not only for European civilization, but also for all humanity. In XVI-XVII centuries in the development of natural science is undergoing significant changes related to the common cultural progress of society, the development of human consciousness and the growth of material production. This contributed enormously great geographical discoveries, which gave a lot of new facts on geography, geology, botany, zoology, astronomy.
The main progress in the field of natural sciences in this period went through compilation and interpretation of the accumulated information. Thus, the German Agricola (1494-1555) collected and systematized information about ores and minerals and described the technique of Mines. Swiss Conrad Gesner (1516-1565) was the fundamental work «History of Animals». There were the first concepts in European history concerning multi-volume plant classification, laid the first botanical gardens.
The famous Swiss doctor
FA Paracelsus (1493-1541), studied the nature of the mans body, the causes of disease, methods of treatment, the fundamentals of natural science. Vesaly (1514-1564), born in Brussels, who had studied in France and Italy, author of «On the structure of the human body», laid the foundations of modern anatomy, and in the XVII century. Vesaly ideas were recognized in all European countries. English scientist William Harvey (1578-1657) discovered the blood circulation in humans. A major role in the development of methods of natural science played an Englishman Francis Bacon (1564-1626), who claimed that true knowledge must be based on experience.
In the sphere of physics can be called a number of great names. First of all, Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519). The brilliant scientist was technical projects, far ahead of his time — the drawings of mechanisms, machines, vehicles, including a draft of a flying machine. Evangelista Torricelli, Italian (1608-1647) worked on hydrodynamics, he studied the atmospheric pressure, created a mercury barometer. French scientist Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) discovered the law on the transfer of pressure in liquids and gases.
A major contribution to the development of natural science, especially physics introduced the Italian Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), who acquired great fame as an astronomer, he built the first telescope for the first time in human history, saw a huge number of stars invisible to the naked eye, the mountains on the Moon, sunspots. Its predecessor was the Polish scientist Nicholas Copernicus (1473-1543), author of the famous work «On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres»,
in which he argued that the earth was not the stationary center of the world, and rotates together with the other planets around the sun. Copernicus’ views were developed by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), who managed to formulate the laws of planetary motion in natural science. These ideas are shared by Giordano Bruno (1548-1600), who claimed that the world is infinite and that the sun is only one of an infinite number of stars which, like the sun have planets similar to Earth. Natural science of medivel times have influenced on other disciplines, which was the basis to many incredible inventions.
