I would have to agree with Kat that the Scientific Revolution is the most interesting. During this time, people started to turn away from God and turn to Science for answers. This movement took place after the Renaissance period and eventually led to the Enlightenment. Some key figures in the Enlightenment were John Locke and Francis Bacon. John Locke was a English Professor and physician and is also known as the "Father of Liberalism." This time period saw a transformation in mathematics, astronomy, biology and more. Mathematics began to advance creating algebra, trigonometry and and geometry. Galileo discovered gravity and laws of motion. The mysteries of the universe began to unravel.
