How did the ideas and observations of Bacon and Copernicus change the way people thought about science in par?

Answer 1

Copernicus changed the common geocentric view of scientists, but he did not change the methods of science; like earlier astronomers, he used mathematical formulae to reach his conclusions. However, the heliocentric view changed people's belief in the centrality of humans in the universe.

Bacon's experimental method completely changed scientific practice; it displaced received authority as the source of knowledge and replaced it with inductive method
