Classical Science-The "Scientific Revolution"-understood
as
the
time
when
a
"paradigm
shift"
took
place,
ended
with
Newton's
achievements.
From
the
late
17th
century
until
the
late
19th
century
that
vision
of
the
cosmos
was
developed
and
filled
in
by
what
we
now
call
"classical
science".
The
achievements
of
this
period
have
not
been
negated
by
the
discoveries
and
theories
of
the
late
19th
and
20th
centuries,
but
are
now
seen
as
accurate
only
with
certain
boundaries.
