Beyond Galileo’s biographical story, we all know the subsequent achievements of the experimental scientific method, which literally changed the world and the lives of our species.
Instruments such as the telescope, microscope and other observational technologies have significantly expanded the ability to observe natural and man-made phenomena.
Measuring instruments, such as scales, thermometers, electrical devices and so on, provided numerical and quantifiable data, enabling scientists to avoid the subjectivity of interpretation and to establish causal relationships between observed phenomena.
The scientific revolution is the intellectual evolutionary leap that underlies the technological revolution, and in particular the subsequent industrial revolutions.
Today we are witnessing new Artificial Intelligence tools, such as Computer Vision, that powerfully extend our ability to observe and analyze the world, from galaxies to molecules. It is up to the genius of the extended-human intelligence to know how to take advantage of these extraordinary developments.
