How did the age of european exploration pave the way for the scientific revolution

Conquestors such as Ferdinand Magellan for example, wanted to prove that the Earth was indeed round. And Christopher Columbus (1450-1506) is an Italian crusader who is tasked to look for Asia from Europe starting on the west direction. His conquests during 15th to 20th century in Asia, Australia, United States and Atlantic made new discoveries and colonies crediting him as the explorer of the ‘New World’ or the ‘Age of Discovery’. His conquests were very much celebrated however there also negative effects on the system instilled on the newly-discovered places such as slavery, diseases, illiteracy, rape and death. The Ptolemaic theory of the universe was disproved by Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543), letter C and followed by Johannes Kepler (1571–1630). Geocentric theory suggested that the Sun and moon orbited Earth, and the rest of the planets orbited the Sun is Heliocentric theory. Heliocentric theory of Nicolaus Copernicus during the Scientific Revolution on 17th and 18th century while Geocentric theory was proposed by Ptolemy (AD 150) and Aristotle. Today, we believe more on the Heliocentric theory and it has been proven as well.
