Scientific Revoltuion: Scientific Method

In the history of science, the scientific revolution was the period that began with the discoveries of Kepler, Galileo, and others in the 17th century, and ended with the publication of the Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica in 1687 by Isaac Newton. The first telescope was made in Holland, by a Dutch lens maker who hit on the idea of putting two lenses at each end of a tube and looking through it. Galileo read about this invention in a letter and forthwith built his own. He ground his own lenses, constructed his own tube, and produced a telescope with a power of magnification of about 10 -- more than twice as powerful as the one the Dutch had made. That Galileo could do this after merely having read a description of the device is a testament to his skill as a craftsman.Galileo built his telescope in 1610 when he was living in Venice. Isaac Newton was known for this, and he have completed his theory of making a new discovery.
The Scientific Method is the step by step process which scientists use to investigate hypotheses using experiments. It is a procedure as which Galileo, and others use when creating, and studing their observations. The answers can come out wrong, and some can come out right. Though what Scientific Revolution: Scientific Method have in common is that they are both based on Knowledge & Solutions.
