The Scientific Revolution challenged traditional notions and beliefs, leading to a shift in European society. Ideas such as empirical observation, experimentation, and the use of reason became central to the scientific method, marking a departure from reliance on religious authority. These new ideas led to advancements in various fields, including physics, astronomy, and medicine, transforming our understanding of the natural world. The emphasis on observation and reason also contributed to the spread of Enlightenment ideas and the questioning of political and social systems, setting the stage for major political and social revolutions in Europe.
