Scientific Revolution:The Scientific Method

Scholars got their ideas from the Romans and Greeks, they believe these ideas because they're brillant and we still use some of their ideas to this very day. Some people found the Greeks and the Romans to be wrong like for example Galileo tested a theory that Aristotle came up with and his theory was that heavy objects fell faster than lighter objects but Galileo proved him to be wrong objects with different weight fell at the same time. For scientific information most people just look in the Bible . The new scientist use something called the Scientific Method. What they did was test other theories and prove or disprove them they didn't believe in any theory they would test them and see if they were right and they would come up withtheir on conclusion. Issac Newton was another man that proved Aristotle wrong. Issac Newton explained the laws of gravity. Aristotle believed that one set of physical law governed the earth and another set governed the universe but Newton proved him wrong and said that the law of gravitation applied to the earth and the heavens.
