Francis Bacon's development of the scientific method, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
I should teach the world about Francis Bacon's development of the scientific method, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This created a new paradigm, to which Galileo Galilei, the French philosopher and mathematician René Descartes, and Isaac Newton contributed greatly. This momentous achievement marks the beginning of the era of scientific discoveries and technological advances, which have shaped the history of humankind since. This achievement provided man with the method to understand his world, and it turned the empiricist method into a shibboleth.
