现代科学是什么时候产生的？这是一个得到不同答案的问题。有些人会说，它开始于中世纪盛期（1277年），或者说它开始于十四世纪的“现代之路”。更普遍的观点是，意大利文艺复兴也是科学的重生。一般来说，哥白尼被认为是伟大的革命者，而“科学革命”据说是在哥白尼到牛顿的时期发生的。另一些人则认为科学革命始于17世纪，涵盖了从伽利略到牛顿的整个时期。有时候，第二次科学革命据说发生在世纪的前25年（普朗克、爱因斯坦、玻尔、海森堡等），这是一场应该被认为和第一次革命一样伟大的革命。
When did modern science arise? This is a question which has received divergent answers. Some would say that it started in the High Middle Ages (1277), or that it began with th ‘via moderna’ of the fourteenth century. More widespread is the idea that the Italian Renaissance was also the re-birth of the sciences. In general, Copernicus is then singled out as the great revolutionary, and the ‘scientific revolution’ is said to have taken place during the period from Copernicus to Newton. Others would hold that the scientific revolution started in the seventeenth century and that it covered the period from Galileo to Newton. Sometimes a second scientific revolution is said to have occurred in the first quarter of the twentieth century (Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg, etc.), a revolution which should be considered as great as the first one.
