ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Scientific revolution

The scientific revolution was a time when people started to think about the world around them in a different way. Scientists began to try and use facts and evidence to explain things rather than just believing what people said. This was a big change, because it allowed people to test out their ideas and prove or disprove them. People began to come up with new inventions, new methods of observing the world, and new theories about how things worked. All these things added up to make the scientific revolution an incredibly important time in history!
