Day 46 Opening Question

In a rapidly evolving world, new scientific advancements hold immense potential for humanity. This discussion tackles the great questions of our time: What advancements should we pursue to improve our lives and society? Conversely, we must also confront the fears surrounding these scientific developments—what are we wary of, and why? We explore society's anxieties, including those surrounding alien contact and the implications for humanity. By analyzing the impact of the Scientific Revolution, we question how these experiences shape our intellectual, social, and religious landscapes today.

  1. Day 46 Opening Question • Use 2 slots • Slot 1 Title = Science Advancements • What new advancements in science should humans try to achieve today and/or in our lifetimes? • Slot 2 Title = Science Fears • What new advancement in science do you fear? Why? • What do you think society fears in science? Why?

  2. Day 47 Opening Question • Title = Aliens • If an alien spaceship landed in the United States tomorrow, how would you/the world handle this moment? What could happen?

  3. Day 46+47 Objectives • Analyze the PERSIAGM impact of the scientists of the Scientific Revolution • EQ5 – How did the Scientific Revolution impact Europe intellectually, socially, and religiously?

Europe was NOT Stupid before 1500 • Advancements in Math (and offshoots of it) happened • Renaissance changes everything • explodes information of Greeks • Scientists of 1500 have more to question or test • artists observed nature more • Math stressed more • Math used to make war inventions • Math = answer to all scientific questions

  6. What is a Revolution? • … • Whenever a Revolution takes place, there are usually adversaries…who are they in this story? • What is at stake in this struggle? • Whenever new “revolutionary” ideas are introduced to society, what process seems to take place? • If “revolutionary” ideas eventually win, what must all of society do with these ideas?
