End of Scientific Revolution
Around this time (Not exactly), almost all of Europe new of the new scientific methods, and many changes were still occurring, but the new processes were known to nearly all, and most are still used today. The scientific revolution is that you are creating new ways to invent, not just inventing. Technically, the scientific revolution is still going on today, but the main inventions were before this time. -
