 * This picture is showing the scientific method. The scientific method allowed the human mind to expand beyond barriers, and that society had erected for itself. Scientific Method applies in all areas of science, including biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, and medicine. Because of the Scientific Method strides were possible because of the development of this new way of thinking, a new way of approaching problems. Both inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning became the pathway of learning and is based on proven physical principles. || Above is a photograph of the telescope designed by Galileo Galilei astronomer in 1610. This telescope is now housed at the Institute and Museum of the History of Science in Florence, Italy.In the 16th century Nicholas Copernicus established perception that the Sun revolved around Earth. By the 17th century, the scientific method had expanded beyond the fields of science into the areas of social inquiry. The basic concepts of the scientific method became integrated in how a person perceived the world in general. It was a radically different perception than in past centuries.The scientific method relied then, as it does now, on questions. || A printing press is a machine that metal type is organized against a flat surface. Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1450You place paper against the type, and another flat surface or heavy cylinder is pressed against the paper. This causes the type to be imprinted onto the paper surface. The invention of the printing press was one of the most significant in history. As the printing press increased the output of printed material. It also made such material available to much of the population. ||
