During the 17th century, the Scientific Revolution reached vastly new horizons that greatly furthered our <u>understanding of the physical world</u>. Science advances when the processes through which we discern knowledge become more accurate and reliable, and it always has to start with basic assumptions.
<u>Copernicus'</u> commitment to his radical logical assumptions, went so far as to causing a complete change of paradigm that shifted how the entire world was seen, both cosmically and religiously. We can say for sure that with his theory of heliocentrism, he initiated the Scientific Revolution all by himself.
<u>Kepler's</u> strongest input came with the three Laws of Planetary Motion, discovering that the planets move around the Sun in orbits shaped like ellipses.
Newton presented the three principal Laws of Motion, which served as the basis for all of modern physics. In addition, his introduction and development of calculus became the most relevant method of solving more complex mathematical problems. He also introduced the Law of Universal Gravitation.

Innovations in farming techniques that led to great productivity.
1.- <em>Three Point Linkage</em>. Developed by Harry Ferguson, this invention raised or lowered the plough, depending on the depth farmers wanted to dig.
2.- <em>Genetical Modified Corps</em>. Scientist isolate genes with some desirable traits to improve the quality of the plant.
3.- <em>Fertiliser Deep Placement.</em> A new form of fertiliser that increased the Yields.
4.- <em>New Feeding Methods</em>. Blending different components of food to improve the quality of nutrition.
Between 1607 and 1692, the rise in use of slaves as a form of labor shows that there was no socio economic mobility in the American colonies. Slavery developed gradually over this period but become extremely prevelant after Bacon's Rebellion (1676). This system of slavery ensured that enslaved Africans had no legal rights, were considered property, and could not earn wages. No matter how hard these individuals worked, they were still considered property and earned no money for their production. This is a perfect example of the lack of socio economic mobility in the colonies during the 17th century.
