The Scientific Revolution (16th - 17th centuries) was a movement that marked a change in the way of thinking. New sciences emerged that sought to explain phenomena of nature. The scientific method was created to ensure that the generation of new knowledge was valid. The Scientific Revolution, as a consequence, led to the Enlightenment (18th - 19th centuries). It also separated science from theology and philosophy and boosted the development of new sciences. During the Scientific Revolution, sciences like astronomy, mathematics, physics, and biology made great progress. In astronomy, Copernicus published "On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres", where he formulated his heliocentric model. Also, Galileo pioneered the development of the telescope. In physics, the greater advances were led by Isaac Newton who formulated the Laws of Motion and his Law of Universal Gravity. In mathematics, sciences like calculus, probability, and analytical geometry were developed. In biology, Vesalius developed human anatomy as a science.
