There have been many disputed claims for this honor, and in all fairness, they should not name only one name as mother , or, father of experimental science.

Here is one of such claim to fame. Galileo Galilei.
.Galileo made far-reaching contributions beyond those in astronomy, especially in his defense and promotion of the so-called scientific method. Forever thinking and testing, Galileo would first reduce complex problems to simple terms based on logic. He then approached each individual problem with mathematical reasoning. Though historians dispute his title as the "founder of modern experimental science" because they argue that experimentation had little to do with his discoveries, Galileo's name will forever be attached to the concept of scientific method.


There are morebut there are too many to list.

It is commonly held that Galileo Galilei was the founder of modern experimental science. Not English, but Italian.

That would be Francis Bacon who famously devised the scientific method that is still used today. He also wrote the famous axiom "knowledge is power" and used to own my local pub in Romford, England.

Some people also say that he wrote Shakespeare!
