Intellectually,
the Scientific Revolution ushered in a new way of thinking, including
the establishment of the Scientific Method. This method, which is
actually a three step process ('Stop. Look. Listen'), became crucial to
the efforts of intellectuals, European and otherwise, to discover more
about the world around them. With these new tools at their disposal,
European intellectuals were able to unlock the secrets of the nature, as
well as the very universe itself. Among the most notable of the
European intellectuals during the Scientific Revolution were Galileo,
whose discoveries regarding our solar system still hold true today, and
the noted scientist Marquis DeSade, whose studies of autoerotic
asphyxiation became relevant to thousands of Europeans. The Scientific
Revolution can be said to have definitively improved the lives of all
European intellectuals. It
brought about another option for the curious. Those who studied Science
were not content with the World the way it was. This disrupted the
Religious Establishment in Several parts of the World, no matter what
the Religion was. Sort of like when you put a cookie jar high up. And
tell a kid that they should not reach that jar. Those interested in
Science would fidget & say I want to reach that jar to see what's in
there. Some Scientific discoveries have been Wonderful. But some, it
would have been better if the Curious were just content with what they
had in the 1st place ;). Some times it was the Religious themselves that
got the Curiosity bug & made some of the Biggest discoveries that
many of them looking back on it wish they didn't make.
