Scientific Revolution

Scientific Revolution was an important era during the 1500s because all scientists tried to make new ideas and theorys for a remmemberance in history. Scientific Revolution is a period of many advances and Galileo was a very popular italian Astronomer and Physicist from those times who gave pretty much Aristotle a hard time for his theory's and always tried to make it accurate.

This great scientist Aristotle had a theory that heavier things fall faster on the ground than lighter things would. Galileo went to the tower of pisa in italy and studied this theory even though Aristotle had many years making it a prooven and right theory. Galileo went to the tower and dropped a bowling ball and a baseball and measured up the time the got to the ground and he discovered that the theory was in fact not true.

Turned out to tbe a blunder to the poor people that believed him and for Aristotle.There were many philosophers and scientist during this time with many theories during roughly around middle ages known as the renaissance times. Renaissance also means a dark age where nothing was really developed and the scientist had a greater chance to become remmembered.
