Scientific Revolutiuon

Before 1500, people had no standard way of finding answers for scientific questions. Some searched for answers in the bible, while others got their ideas from ancient Greeks and Romans. Either way, there was no simple process to figure something out before the scientific revolution occurred. One example is the location of the Earth. Based on religion and the bible, people thought that the Earth was the center of the universe, and that all the other planets revolved around it. However, scientists proved that to be wrong.

Another early experiment of the scientific revolution was the theory that heavy objects fall faster than lighter objects. Aristotle, the founder of the theory, was proven wrong about 1,500 years. Then came along a young Italian named Galileo. Galileo tested his theory by dropping different sized stones off the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Sure enough, they all fell at the exact same rate, and hit the floor at the same time.



One of the most popular and common used methods today, is the Scientific Method. There are many good sides to this method. For example, it is unprejudiced. No one is forced to believe in any scientists results or conclusions. Anyone can redo the experiment and try to prove is wrong. The scientific method consists of various steps such as: the theory, hypothesis, conclusion, experiment, etc.

An example would be something as simple as solving a crime. First comes the investigation. After evidence is collected, detectives then use it as leads for certain suspects. When they find the suspects, they interrogate them, to try and find out more information. That's basically the whole process. This relates to the Scientific method because is follow the same steps. The theory is like the call that reports the homicide. Then, the experiment is like the investigation, etc.
