The rise of modern science may be traced back to the era of Roger Bacon. Bacon, born in 1214, died in 1292, was an outstanding monk and philosopher at Oxford. He had many remarkable discoveries and may be the first during medieval times to propose to studay science through observing and experiemnting on what surround us. However, three hundred years later, the great figures who lived in Italy, France, Germany and Britain made people gradually realized that many truth can be found through proper observing, and Galileo (1564-1642) was the greatest amongst them. Prior to Galileo, scholars had believed that a larger object fell to the ground faster than a smaller one, as said by Aristotle. However, Galileo proved to the observers that Aristotle’s theory was wrong by showing two objects with different volumes reaching the ground the same time from the top of Leaning Tower of Pisa. It is Galileo’s believe – proving a theory or judgment through experiments in the nature, that leads to all the great discoveries of modern science.
