The word discovery itself implies experimentation. Scientific discovery involves research, practice, comparisons, priorities, salient results. Without routine and specified experimentation, there could be little scientific discovery.
It caused people to take a new, logical approach to scientific discovery based on experimentation and observation.
The Revolution itself has ended since it attained the goals of shifting the mentality of the majority of the population towards accepting science, but the ideals of the Scientific Revolution live on in the public embrace and respect for science.
With increasing literacy, and scientific productivity of ordinary people, it became apparent that scientific discovery did not come only from persons having positions of priority, such as those among the nobility, but rather that no scientific investigator could be excluded on the basis of relative poverty alone.
Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ. It exists through the gracious love of God in order to bring God to people and people to God. It does this through the sacraments, through preaching, through the lived example of the saints throughout history. As the Mystical Body of Christ, the Church does not get "outraged" except perhaps at sin. It certainly does not get outraged at scientific theories.
The Logic of Scientific Discovery was created in 1934.
Yes it was a scientific as well as a historical discovery.

Which discovery? Amerigo rediscovered America, but that wasn't scientific.
The church limited the growth of knowledge through censorship, suppression of scientific theories that conflicted with religious doctrine, and discouraging free inquiry that challenged established beliefs. This hindered the development of new ideas and inhibited the progress of scientific discovery during the Middle Ages and beyond.
The Church gradually accepted modern cosmology as scientific evidence supported it and challenged the previous geocentric view. Pope Pius XII's 1951 encyclical recognized the compatibility of faith and reason, helping pave the way for the Church to embrace scientific advancements. The acknowledgment of modern cosmology also aligns with the Church's emphasis on seeking truth and understanding the natural world.
Curiosity
The scientific method.
The answer you are looking for is probably the belief that the Earth was the center of the universe, but in reality, the Church always supported the belief that God is the center of the universe, and man was His primary creation on the earth. Thus any scientific discovery had to be consistent with Christianity, as God is One, and certainly logical.

There is no obvious way to determine which scientific discovery is the best, however, I personally would nominate the heliocentric theory of astronomy.
