Scientific revolution

I have always been so fascinated with the scientific revolution, perhaps it is my love of experiments or science in general. The scientific revolution questioned everything. They observed, measured, experimented and formulated hypothesis and theories about why things were the way they were . they were set about proving or disproving their hypothesis or the ideas of the ages. During this time the world changed.  Ideas about human society, government, and religion and culture began to be questioned. Many thought that if they had been wrong about the nature of the universe they could be wrong about other things, importantly the rights of man. Ideas found I the scientific revolution and the enlightenment laid foundation for modern worldviews of rationalism and secularism. The thinking around enlightenment led  rulers to advocate natural rights as equality before the law and freedom of religion. Long  terms significance in Europe altered ideas about the place of humankind within  the cosmos and challenged the teachings and authority of the church. Three major developments that came from the scientific revolution were scientific method, democracy and separation of powers.
