The Story of Western Science

The story of Western science is about humanity’s growing understanding of the natural world through observation, experimentation, and reason. Starting with ancient Greece and Rome, it evolved through the Renaissance and Scientific Revolution, emphasizing evidence and questioning assumptions. Key figures like Copernicus, Newton, and Darwin made groundbreaking discoveries that reshaped our view of the universe, nature, and ourselves. Over time, science became more systematic and collaborative, leading to technologies and insights that profoundly affect society. This ongoing process continues to refine our knowledge, driven by curiosity and the desire to explain how everything works.
