The Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method

The scientific method is all about when they try to prove or disprove something of any. In the scientific method is experimented and ends with their own conclusions. most scientist got their scientific ideas from the roman greeks and other people which is still needed to explain and i will get back on that. Some people looked up in the bible too. This forced to change during the 17th and 18th century because of this revolution. We notice this as revolution had an natural change and technical change and that changed structures in all over europe. This aslo has changed the aspect of human beings and to see differently how the world and the universe really is. This scientific revolution has no official date of when it started becuase this revolution goes back even more than copernicus. Their were many other medieval people that described the same thoery of the sun and is Ptolemy solved the problem in two ways. First, he made the elliptical orbits eccentric, that is, while the planets still orbited around the sun, the center of the circle of their orbit was not the earth, but a point somewhere else. Each planetary orbit, then, had a different center of rotation. But this still didn't explain every instance of precession. So Ptolemy took the planets out of their orbital path and set them spinning around a moving point on the orbital path., like a tether-ball spinning around a moving pole. These extraorbital orbits Ptolemy called epicycles
