Until the 17th century it was believed that everything worked in a certain way: apples fell from trees, theologians knew everything and, above all, the Earth was the center of our solar system. Although this belief dates back to theology's understanding of the expression of new intellectual thought, great strides were made throughout the 16th and 17th centuries that would force a change in the geocentric belief. The argument of this article is that the scientific revolution, whereby the shift from a geocentric to a heliocentric model, was necessitated by socio-cultural tools and conventions developed in response to emerging intellectual thought. Before I can present my argument, I need to define the basis for which I call a tool. In the context of this article, tool refers to certain principles and/or tools used to raise the basic level of intellectual thinking. Until the 15th century, because of the way the four faculties of the university were intellectually viewed in relation to each other, it was very difficult for any non-theologically based discovery to be brought to the forefront of intellectual inquiry. This belittlement of the artistic faculty would be a difficult task to overcome if one wanted to overturn the geocentric model and validate the new heliocentric model. To further complicate the situation, “other faculties [outside of theology] could not delve into theological questions, but theologians could use other sciences for theological interpretations” (Course Lesson) which has two parts that both seek the search for truth through two different paths but one makes discounts and protects itself for fear of being proven wrong. It was not until the mid-16th century that Alileo's ability to exploit the patron-client relationship within the justice system was critical to the acceptance of the law. heliocentric model that allows the progression of the scientific revolution. With the discovery of the four moons of Jupiter, Galileo found himself faced with a discovery that had to be made known, but he did so discreetly. It would be through the aforementioned judicial system that would do so. In doing so, the Medici court would have supported its self-referentiality by exclaiming to its patron that it had inherited the divine characteristics of Jupiter's moons. From this we see that the court stands out as something more than other courts, while science gets the support of a highly valued social institution. This relationship between two seemingly different institutions is the final piece in the transition from geocentric to heliocentric.
