The Scientific Methods: Crash Course History of Science #14 

HawkingN pretty sure thats a reference bu I forgot from what

My favorite part of the whole episode haha

Actually the Spanish Inquisition would send a 30 day notice before their arrival. It’s true. Sorry for being a party pooper; nobody expects that.

@@Bastogne1944 ...I doubt literacy was very high then so they really sent what amounts to be "some weird marks on paper, pffft whatever" :P

I heard this on other channels as well. Somebody explain to me please!

Jaime Nyx actually that's not true and you trying to shift the blame to defend an institution where they tortured and killed and censored people for thinking and advocating heretical ideas shows how idiotic you are

Mario mario You're idiotic for denying historical facts and accepting long debunked misconceptions at face value. Galileo wasn't some enlightened superhuman wrongfully persecuted by a moustache-twirling organisation of evil, he was a petty man that picked up fights with his own patrons. Also the objections to Galileo's hypotheses weren't religious, they were scientific. The consensus of his time still prefered a geocentric model of the universe, because the proofs of heliocentrism were still sparse. It took the science few more decades and works of Newton to shift to a new paradigm. Most of the astronomers of the early 17th century were still devoted geocentrists. Stating that it was a bad or backwards thing that Galileo's ideas were scrutinised by his peers is a prime example of a hindsight bias.

Stop spreading lies. Galileo's trial had less to do with religion and more with science. The old myth that church was anti science and that Galileo was some hero of rationalism is debunked long ago. One of Galileos closest disciples was even a monk named Benedetto Castelli. The Catholic Church provided more support for scientific research then any other institution and their universities are among the finest till this day. Stop spreading anti Catholic bigotry and learn actual history for once you deluded moron.

Mario mario I'm not saying the church didn't do some effed-up stuff around this time (though as others in this thread have pointed out, it wasn't as simple as "religion vs science", and I'll add that witch trials heavily influenced the development of the scientific method), but I didn't lie about the Simplicio thing. Galileo was a complex figure, not merely a "hero of science". He would be the modern equivalent of a radical string theorist trying to start rap battles with Neil deGrasse Tyson and Pope Francis.

It doesn't matter if other scientifically minded people thought his ideas were wrong. You don't lock someone up for having a different theory of stellar motion. If you do that, regardless of your supposed reasoning, you are a harmful organization. Unless you are disputing the fact that he was put on trial and put under house arrest, there isn't any ground to stand on that the church was definitely in the wrong.

dang beat me to it.

No one excpets the science inquisition

and an almost fanatical devotion to Newton

Amongst our weapons ...

Andy Hartley- Amongst! Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as blah blah blah... God, we're such Nerds. oops heresy. Newton, we're such nerds.

Well, in the US, they deserve less than they get, certainly, which is 0. 99% of your professor suck, seriously.

@@arthurobrien7424 If only 0.99% sucked, that would be awesome

@@arthurobrien7424 wow, if you think professors suck then why are you going to college. Why don't you become a mechanic. I mean that basically tells me that you don't value higher education and rather be a simple person.

Let him go!

Sarcasticron they will not let him go...

Let him goooo!

No no no no no no NO!

Mamma mia!

*You need to pay your salary for that lesson to this channel.*

Every good history of science course needs to mention the great master Karl Popper. (Every good epistemology course for that matter)

If I remember correctly, Popper has an episode dedicated to his work in the Crash Course Philosophy series, but an additional episode in this series would be appropriate.

The scientific methods that were made by Galilei, Bacon, and Descartes are very meritorious. Each of their scientific methods are being used today by many people making our discoveries and life more accurate and correct. From Galileo's focus on being independent, Bacon's experimentation and scientific reasearch, and Descartes' reminder on how sure we are that we know stuff helps us humans on how to do things accurately to have better results. I believe that these methods will live on forever, aside from it's a part of our history, it's actually a good way of knowing things since we humans still lack a lot of knowledge about our universe. Another thing that i would like to point out in the video is about the church. This video showed just how powerful the church officials were before. It was like you would get punished if your ideas will contradict their beliefs which was very scary. That's why i commend Galileo's bravery, despite of the oppression from the church, he still continued "sciencing" to know about stuff. I'm actually thankful that i'm living today's time where there's freedom of expression and opinions and ideas are encouraged.

scientific method according man is a set of basic principles starts to emerge. Scientific methods is a logical problem-solving were Galileo, Bacon, and Descartes done in the past decades wherein fact it is still applying nowadays in many ways. This is so fascinating that the three of them could make on their story. Amazingly, that Galileo invented the first telescope in the past decades, thanks to him. Some people nowadays could use that type of instrument by seeing the distant object. Besides, it becomes modern, because of the evolution of the new technologies. Consequently, Galileo is also a faithful man. He made the big contribution in our world. :)

Galileo focus on independent, rational comparison of theories about natural phenomena, Bacon on the other hand focus on experiment and social norms promoting scientific research. Lastly, Decartes focus on reminder to always ask yourself how sure you are or what we cal doubting and from that this three amazing people we get the idea of scientific method. We all know that Scientists search for answers to questions and solutions to problems by using a procedure called the scientific method. This procedure consists of making observations, formulating hypotheses, and designing experiments, which in turn lead to additional observations, hypotheses, and experiments in repeated cycles which Galileo, Bacon and Decartes show in this video.

In studying science, it isn't enough to rely solely with one idea. There are so many ways in order to find and create knowledge. At this chapter, it showcases that different approaches and methods on how to deal with studying science. Galileo Galulei who invented the more advance telescope make his researches and studies more trusted because of using his invention. He is somewhat like independent with his research though he believes with the theory of copernican. He then used rational comparison of theories about natural phenomenon in order to find what a stuff really is like the cosmos. In the other hand, it was Francis Bason who has this kind of unique method of discovering new ideas and knowledge. He raised up a conclusion that in studying things, we shouldn't give too much time on the idea of dead philosophers, instead we should work with our own to find answers. In his method, he uses many experimentations and researches. He make divisions of works, some are positioned in experiments, some were studying books and make collective ideas and some were also put into observing the natural phenomenon and the other will analysed and draw what they have found out. In other words, Bacon method in through experiments and social norms, and at the same way, promoting scientific research. Now, the method of Rene Descartes was something unique and different. He was like Shakespeare whose approach is like writing a story. He wants to replace the idea of many philosophers like Aristotle and he want a new thing to be considered as more truthful. At his case, he is much certain with his idea in which he mostly trust his words. Yet, his method were to ask yourself how sure you are that you the stuff. Excellent idea because how could you be sure if you just rely on others right. Nevertheless, such an extraordinary talent they have. There methods were really a jaw dropping approach.

Galileo Galilie, Francis Bacon and Rene Descartes scientific method are really significant before and especially nowadays. Galileo was the one who invented the first telescope in 1609 and because of that he became famous. It is a good example of how scientific instruments change the nature of scientific practice. In fact, he is also independent and rational comparison of theories about natural phenomena of what a stuff. He is really a faithful man. Francis Bacon focus on experiments and social norms where it required central planning and state support. Lastly, Rene Descartes is emphasize on the abstract question how we know? and What we know. It means that we need to ask yourself how sure you are that you the stuff. He also based on reductionistically meaning using math in describing a certain phenomena. All in all they are the most significant contributors in science.

is that bacon around his hat

Agreed. Also there were notions of the lack of reliability of instruments like telescopes which might skew the senses and the continued support of authoritative texts like Aristotle and others with their methods of logical deduction, questioning whether induction was a reliable method of obtaining knowledge.

elfarlaur ok

Htoo Doh Did you get that? 'cause I didn't.

AngelHQ Somewhat.

Also both the Ptolemaic and Copernican models used epicycles, and because Copernicus's epicycles were not as fine tuned as Ptolemy's, his model actually made _worse_ predictions of the locations of the heavenly bodies.

NO
