When there is a MAJOR change in your way of thinking, which this indeed was, it is called a Paradigm Shift. The change was so radical, that proponents of it got in severe conflict with the Church over it.
Also, you could call it a "Scientific Revolution"
The Blank Slate theory believes that each person is like a blank slate when born ie no innate characteristics separate from environment. This means that each person is defined by their environment.
A long time ago, people believed that the Earth was the center of the universe, a theory known as the geocentric model. This idea was eventually replaced by the heliocentric model, which places the Sun at the center of the solar system, proposed by astronomers like Copernicus and Galileo.
Kepler started when he got full access to Tycho's measurements of the planets' positions, after Tycho died in 1601. Kepler's full theory including details of the elliptical orbits of the six known planets was published eight years later. Eight years is not too long when you consider his theory was right, in other words it's the theory we use today (with the details of the orbits slightly refined by modern measurements), and it replaced the Ptolemaic theory that had been in use for 1500 years and the Copernican theory that had been around for 66 years. When you think Kepler was starting with a blank sheet of paper and had to calculate all the horribly complicated geometrical details from scratch, without even a slide-rule, eight years is not bad and it is right that he is considered one of astronomy's great founding fathers.
The blank slate theory was so popular because it was thought to be a progressive and enlightened theory which reaffirmed equality. Another reason for its popularity was that it allowed for free will and the idea that anybody could do anything if they put their mind to it.

For 'blank' read 'planet'. And yes, it does.
The expression "6 - blank" is incomplete and requires a number to fill in the blank. If you replace "blank" with a specific number, you can perform the subtraction. For example, if the blank is filled with 2, then the expression would be evaluated as 6 - 2 = 4.

The blank spaces around the edge of a page are called margins.
