Episode 263: Facts and Experiments


Listen Later

In our last overview episode, before we start Copernicus, I want to cover the concept of the "fact" and the "experiment" as each pertains to the Scientific Revolution.

While Francis Bacon usually gets the credit for the "fact", the true story is more complicated.
