The Scientific Revolution, a turning point in history. The major source of understanding science used to be the teachings of Aristotle. His teachings were unchallenged and believed for over 1,500 years. Until.....until some scientists decided to experiment and proved Aristotle wrong. That's right, wrong. Thus establishing THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD!. Experimenting over and over again to prove or disprove an idea or theory. And during the revolution, many scientists decided to question the ideas and theories that people believed in and made their own.
One example is Galileo's legendary feat. He went up to the Leaning Tower of Pisa and dropped objects of different weight, proving that objects with different weights can fall at the same speed. Proving Aristotle wrong. Well he had a long run. 1,500 years. I wonder if the theories and ideas we believe in today will be proven wrong in the future or at least expanded on.. haha of course they will.
