The Scientific Revolution (around 1543-1687) was a major turning point in how people thought about science. This time led to the beginning of modern technology and included several important changes:

1. Empirical Methods:

   • Scientists started to use experiments and careful observations to learn new things. This made scientific knowledge much more reliable.

2. Math as a Tool:

   • Galileo showed how important math is for understanding the world. His work helped invent new ideas that were important for engineering and technology.

3. New Inventions:

   • During this time, new tools were created like the telescope by Galileo and the microscope by Leeuwenhoek. These inventions changed the way we study biology and astronomy, giving us a lot more information.

4. Foundational Theories:

   • Isaac Newton came up with laws about how things move and how gravity works. His ideas changed mechanics and had a big impact on early machines and building methods.

5. Interdisciplinary Impact:

   • Different fields like chemistry and physics started to share ideas with each other. This led to new processes in chemistry and a better understanding of heat and energy.

All of these changes worked together to help new technology develop, which set the stage for the Industrial Revolution and the tech we have today.
