Some guy called Thales of Milet.

The Messiah Jesus Christ, Lord of Hosts, The One True God and Savior.

I don't think science was really invented by anyone, some prehistoric caveman trying to figure out the best type of arrow or something was probably the first person to invent even if he didn't define it abstractly. It was only really until recently that we've given it a nice little name.

>little

Bitch, that motherfucker is seven letters long. Do you know what the average length of a word is? It's 5.1. Learn your shit. Science is at least a big word. You want to know what a little word is? Fag. Dick. Tard. Those words also describe you. Now get the fuck off before I report your shit.

Fucking summerfags.

If you said it was Bacon, kill yourself.

>thinks "little" always means "miniature"

>Watching Carl Sagan's "Cosmos"
>Plato portrayed as holding back scientific advancements

Seriously, what the shit? Whenever I hear of Plato I hear about how great and innovating he was, getting up in everyone's grill with some serious science.

Can someone explain? Sagan is saying the opposite of everything I thought I knew.

>>3105246
That's cold bro. Real cold.

>>3105231
Why is he white?

>>3105249
ok, that was irrelevant

It hasn't been invented yet.

>>3105249
Bacon is a food you nitwit. How can food invent things?

>>3105275
Aristotle, Plato, even Socrates made some mistakes here and there. After Plato was imprisoned by some tyrant he suddenly turned tail and wrote this book about a highly stratified society. Coincidence? I think not. Obviously the tyrant didn't want a rabble rouser stirring up the masses but also didn't want to look like an asshole killing an awesome philosopher so they reached a compromise.

Bacon also probably wrote most of the work we credit Shakespeare with today. Shakespeare was illiterate and uneducated.

Philosophers. Science wasn't invented by any single person, it was the cumulative result of many centuries of philosophizing, all starting with Thales. Up until the latter half of 19th century science did not yet diverge into the various specialized disciplines and was part of philosophy, known as natural philosophy, the empirical and a posteriori study of nature (contrasted with the a priori philosophy 'proper' in modern academia).

>Anaximander speculated about the beginnings and origin of animal life. Taking into account the existence of fossils, he claimed that animals sprang out of the sea long ago.
> In Lacedaemon, he participated in the construction, or at least in the adjustment, of sundials to indicate solstices and equinoxes.
> Anaximander was the first to publish a map of the world.
>He explained rain as a product of the humidity pumped up from Earth by the sun.
>Carl Sagan claims that he conducted the earliest recorded scientific experiment.

Like I said, kill yourself.

I thought jesus was a swarthy jew not an upstanding white man. Oh well.

The phonecians

>>3105314
You hipster faggot cunt!! Those are observations and assertions and have nothing to do with the scientific method or the logical process which we use to determine what science is.

People ask questions about stuff, and try to seek answers.

>>3105420
>mfw thought experiments have long been used in theoretical physics
also
>conducted the earliest recorded scientific experiment.

So, yeah.

>>3105450
too bad you can't define scientific

>>3105450
also, a kid poking a bug to death could be considered an experiment.

>>3105466
>Scientific researchers propose hypotheses as explanations of phenomena, and design experimental studies to test these hypotheses.

>Scientists also use thought experiments when particular physical experiments are impossible to conduct (Carl Gustav Hempel labeled these sorts of experiment "theoretical experiments-in-imagination"), such as Einstein's thought experiment of chasing a light beam, leading to Special Relativity. This is a unique use of a scientific thought experiment, in that it was never carried out, but led to a successful theory, proven by other empirical means.

Just stop trying.

>>3105470
Why hypothesis is he testing? If it's weather or not dead bugs react to physical stimuli, then yeah it's a fucking experiment.

>>3105315
Jesus was a christian you done goofed

>>3105488
as expected those aren't definitions but I'm sure you full of all sort of other trolling.

Aristotle.

Heathens every single one of you

It was a collaborative effort amongst many people over thousands of years.
