科學實驗的重要性
現代科學的興起也許要追溯到羅傑·培根的時代.羅傑·培根是牛津傑出的僧侶和哲學家，他出生於1214年，死於 1292年。他可能是中世紀第一個提出我們必須通過對周圍事物進行觀察和實驗來學習科學的人，他自己也有許多卓越的發現。然而，生活在三百多年之後的伽利略(1564-1642),卻是好幾個偉大人物中最偉大的一個，這些人在意大利，法國，德國和英國開始逐步使人們看到許多重要的真理是可以通過掌握得當的觀察去發現的。在伽利略之前，學者們相信大的物體掉到地麵比小的物體要快，因為亞理斯多德是這樣說的。可是，伽利略登上比薩斜塔的頂端，讓兩塊體積不相等的石頭同時落地，從而向一些他帶去觀看實驗的朋友們證明，亞理斯多德錯了。正是伽利略的這種直接到大自然中去通過實驗來證明我們的判斷和理論的精神，導致了所有現代科學的偉大發現。 （唐力行 譯）

The importance of scientific experiments
The start of modern science may trace back to Roger Bacon's time. Roger Bacon was an outstanding monk and philosopher. He was born in 1214 and expired in 1292. He might be the first person who mentioned that we should study science through observation and experiments in medieval times. He himself had lots of extrodinary discoveries. More than three hundreds years later, however, Galileo was the greatest one of all the great men who in Italy, France, and England raised awarenes gradually that many important theories could be discovered through appropriate observation. Anterior to Galileo, scholars believed that the speed of a bigger object falling on floor was faster than that of a smaller one, because Aritotle said this. However, Galileo climbed up to the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. He carried two different sized stones which dropped on floor at the same time. It showed his friends who went to see the experient with him that Aristotle was wrong. It was the spirit, which Galileo testified our judgement and theories through nature directly, that led to all of the important discoveries of modern science.

The importance of scientific experiments
The rise of mordern science may perhaps be considered to date as far back as the time of Rodger Bacon. the wonderful monk and philosopher of Oxford to lived between the years 1214 and 1292. He was propbably the first in the middle ages to asert that we must learn science by observing and experimenting on the things around us. And he himself made many remarkble discoveries. Galileo, however, who lived more than three hundred years later, 1564 to 1642, was the greatest of several great men who in Italy, France, Germany or England, began by degrees to show how many important truths could be discovered by well directed observation. Before the time of Galileo, learned men believed that large bodies fall more rapidly towards the earth than small ones because Aritotle said so. The Galileo going to the top of Leaning tower of Pisa let fall two unequal stones and proved to some friends whom he brought there to see the experiment that Aristotle was in error. It is Galileo's spirit of going to the direct nature and verifying our opinions and theories by experient that led us all the great discoveries of modern science.
