Scientific Revolution:Scientific Method

The Scientic Revolution came about in the 1500s,when scolars and scientist got their own ideas about science mainly from the roman and greek bibles.For example the christians and the greeks believed that the earth was the center of the universe and that all of the planets revolved around it.The scientic revolution proved this theory to be false.The scientific revolution became a new way prove these ideas true or false.Many scientists tested their ideas such as Aristotle who believed that heavy objects fell at a faster speed than lighter objects.Another scientist was Galileo wo proved Aristotle's theory to be wrong.
Later came along a new group of scientists who tested theorys over and over again. This was called the Scientific Method.One of the greatest scientists of all times used this method of experimenting,Isaac Newton.Isaac Newton defined the laws of gravity and helped peoples understanding of physics.Again another one of Aristotle's theories of physics was proven wrong.But this time by Isaac Newton.He believed that one are of physics owned the earth and another owned the rest of the universe.Newton then proved that there was a one law of gravity that applied equally to the earth and whole universe.The great scientist of physics ,Isaac Newton,did it again!!!
