Question

how did the printing press change the spread of new scientific ideas during the scientific revolution? it slowed down communication between scientists it was only used for religious texts it allowed ideas to spread quickly to many people across europe it made books more expensive and rare

Explanation:

The printing press was a revolutionary invention. Before its widespread use, books and scientific texts were often copied by hand, which was time - consuming and limited the number of copies. The printing press allowed for mass production of books and scientific works. This mass production meant that scientific ideas could be replicated quickly. With more copies available, these ideas could reach a larger audience across Europe. It was not limited to religious texts (so the option "It was only used for religious texts" is wrong). Instead of slowing down communication (contradicting "It slowed down communication between scientists"), it enhanced it. Also, mass - production through the printing press made books more affordable (not more expensive as in "It made books more expensive and rare") as the cost per copy decreased with the ability to print multiple copies at once.

Answer:

It allowed ideas to spread quickly to many people across Europe.
