Answer:


The Scientific Revolution started with the change in thought and belief between 1550 and 1700, starting with Nicholas Copernicus theory of the sun as the center of the universe and not the earth.

The advances in new instrumentation such as the telescope and microscope, brought changes to the old idea of nature, such as when Galileo observed the moons of Jupiter orbiting arround the planet on a predictable schedule, driving into conclusion that earth could no longer be the center of the universe or the focal point of god creation.

Studies of mathematical analysis now called the calculus also change the conceptual abstraction of the Greeks that was transformed by such mathematics, so the scientific idea of nature at that time was more represented by equations and laws.
