Study Notes
- Experimental science tests hypotheses through successful experiments to gather scientific evidence and eventually establish a scientific theory.
- Origins (historical) science relies on eyewitness testimony and observable evidence to understand past events that led to present observable evidence.
- Assumptions in scientific investigation influence the questions asked, observations made, data collected, and interpretation of data.
- The period between 1300 and 1600 in Europe saw the Renaissance sparking curiosity and challenging long-held ideas, along with the Reformation challenging religious beliefs.
- Before the Scientific Revolution, scholars based truth on ancient texts or the Bible, with few challenging ideas through direct observation.
- The Medieval View held that the earth was stationary at the center of the universe, known as the geocentric theory, influenced by Aristotle and Ptolemy.
- The Scientific Revolution in the mid-1500s introduced a new way of thinking based on observation and questioning old beliefs, leading to challenges in astronomy like the heliocentric theory.
- Nicolaus Copernicus proposed the heliocentric theory in the 1500s, suggesting that the sun, stars, earth, and planets revolved around the sun, challenging the geocentric view.
