Detailed explanation-1: -Medieval scientists were known as “natural philosophers.” They did not make observations of the natural world. They relied on a few ancient philosophers, especially Aristotle, for their scientific knowledge.
Detailed explanation-2: -For example, in order to test the idea that sickness came from external causes, Bacon argued that scientists should expose healthy people to outside influences such as coldness, wetness, or other sick people to discover if any of these external variables resulted in more people getting sick.
Detailed explanation-3: -Kepler’s Elliptical Orbits In Astronomie Nova (1609), Kepler presented extensive research on the orbit of Mars. Using Tycho Brahe’s observational data, Kepler was able to fine tune the movements of the planets and demonstrate that the movement of Mars could be described as an ellipse.
