Episode 263: Facts and Experiments
from Western Civ · host Adam Walsh
In our last overview episode, before we start Copernicus, I want to cover the concept of the "fact" and the "experiment" as each pertains to the Scientific Revolution. Both were products of the Scientific Revolution and did not exist, at least in our modern sense, in the Middle Ages or prior. While Francis Bacon usually gets the credit for the "fact", the true story is more complicated.WebsitePatreon Free Trial Western Civ 2.0 Free Trial
