1600 - 1899
The Scientific Revolution (1550-1700)
The microscope is invented and germs are discovered. Telescopes prove the planets orbit the sun. The slide rule is invented. Isaac Newton publishes his Principia, describing gravity, inertia and force.
The Enlightenment (1700-1800)
The steam engine is invented in 1763. Within 50 years it will have revolutionized manufacturing and transportation. Printing flourishes and lending libraries increase access to books to people across a wider social spectrum.
The Industrial Revolution (1800-1900)
Major leaps in technology effected agriculture, manufacturing, transportation and mining. The shift from rural to urban living allowed for the exchange of ideas among different people. The textile, metallurgy and mining industries roared forward, opening avenues for experimentation with engineering and chemistry and creating the need for precise tools. New transportation avenues were needed for all the new goods so railways became commonplace, fueled by steam power.
