科技革命 Scientific Revolution
Tasia R. Another revolution occurred in the seventeenth century, with its roots based entirely in the creation of new ideas. This was the Scientific Revolution, and its basis was entirely in the intellectuals and scientists that dared to challenge old, traditional ideas. For example,in 1543, the Copernican hypothesis was published. Copernicus stated three appalling new ideas; firstly, stars only appear to move and they are actually still, secondly,it suggested that the universe was far larger than initially believed, and lastly, it destroyed ideas of earth being special or heavenly by representing it as just another planet. New ideas such as these thoroughly progressed the way people thought, and think today.

點評：我喜歡這篇文章逐條地描述哥白尼的理論。很多孩子會只提到哥白尼的日心說理論，然后就結束了。而Tasia把3條理論寫得十分詳盡，表明她對科學十分關注。
