"The ancient Greeks and Christianity taught that the earth was the center of the universe. They believed that the sun and all the planets revolved around the earth. Because of the scientific revolution, we now know that is just not true. " The scientific revolution was a new way of thinking that challenged these outdated ideas. Scientists started to experiment. Like for example the "Aristotle had a theory that heavy objects fell faster than lighter objects. And for about 1,500 years, people believed him. Well, in the late 1500’s a young Italian named Galileo tested this theory. According to legend, he went up to the Leaning Tower of Pisa and dropped stones of different weights to the ground."
