Scientific Revolution

scientific_revolution

The world is smaller now than ever before. The rise of global trade and expansion of the printing industry have led to an increased flow of ideas, allowing for a more widespread dissemination of knowledge. This, in turn, resulted in a more thorough questioning and analysis of the reality of the world. What was once just accepted as fact is now questioned, what was only poorly understood is now observed, and what was only supposed has been tested.

The recent advancements in areas such as mathematics, physics, and biology are undeniable, but the real revolution is the change in the perception and approach towards science itself, and our way of understanding it. Systematic experimentation is the true scientific revolution, and it will completely change our conception of the world.
