    Early humankind also observed that certain plants could be used to treat sickness and disease, and herbal medicines were developed, some of which are still used by modern pharmaceutical companies to provide leads for new synthetic drugs.

    Science was also being developed in India, China, the Middle East and South America. Despite having their own cultural view of the world, they each independently developed materials such as gunpowder, soap and paper.However, it wasn't until the 13th century that much of this scientific work was brought together in European universities, and that it started to look more like science as we know it today.

  • 400 BCE

    Medieval China

    In this video I learned that the Chinese would put up a test for their people to test if they followed a concept of law and order. scientists would create new things and use them to learn about many more things later down the road. Like, they discovered rice they also discovered many other ways to produce it much faster and with less water. In this came new tools to be used. Or for instinct when a Chinese artist made paper from wood and later made a printing press involving carved wood blocks.

    Plato & Aristotle

    For Plato the cosmos was perfect it had rules that could be studied and it was made up of atoms that were perfect geometric “platonic solids” in whom they each created one element.
    .Aristotle cosmology was abstract too in which he crossed the same four elements into one called aether with physical sensations which were hot, color, dry and wet and used them to explain everything.

    The last century brought discoveries such as relativity and quantum mechanics, which, again, required scientists to look at things in a completely different way. It makes you wonder what the iconoclastic discoveries of this century will be.

    History of Science Notes

    The 19th century saw some of the great names of science: people like the chemist John Dalton, who developed the atomic theory of matter, Michael Faraday and James Maxwell who both put forward theories concerning electricity and magnetism, and Charles Darwin, who proposed the (still) controversial theory of evolution. Each of these developments forced scientists radically to re-examine their views of the way in which the world worked.
