WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Galileo determined the laws of gravity and explored the laws of motion on earth. Newton first conclusively affirmed the laws of motion and linked them with Kepler’s laws of planetary motion. Before Newton, no one had demonstrated conclusively that the movements of heavenly bodies were related to terrestrial physics.

Detailed explanation-2: -Francis Bacon’s ideas and scientific philosophy were that scientific knowledge is obtained through empiricism, or observation through using the senses and then through inductive reasoning regarding those observations. Bacon suggested that nature must be isolated from itself and controlled in experimentation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Baconian method, methodical observation of facts as a means of studying and interpreting natural phenomena.

Detailed explanation-4: -Testing hypotheses In order to test potential truths, or hypotheses, Bacon devised a method whereby scientists set up experiments to manipulate nature, and attempt to prove their hypotheses wrong.

Detailed explanation-5: -Galileo Galilei pioneered the experimental scientific method and was the first to use a refracting telescope to make important astronomical discoveries. He is often referred to as the “father of modern astronomy” and the “father of modern physics”. Albert Einstein called Galileo the “father of modern science.”
