The scientific revolution was important for multiple reasons. It gave Europe new inventions, obvisouly, but what is most important, is the theory of thought it began. For centuries, people were taught to view things how they were taught, example: the Earth is the center of the universe, etc. But with the onset of the Scientific Revolution, people began to research and instead, began to view things for how they really were, and began to break away from what they were taught mostly by the church. People had been taught what was correct was what was in the Bible. The answer to anything could be found in its pages. Now we see people bypassing the bible to discover the real workings or the universe, etc. In addition, this philosophy influenced the American and French Revolution.
