The middle ages was a time when: 1 - matters of law were settled with jousts, 2 - witches and heretics were tested for truth by means of torture, 3 - alchemists spent their lives trying to turn lead into gold, 4 - explorers searched for the fountain of youth, and 5 - people believed that dense items fell to earth faster than lighter items merely because Aristotle had said it a thousand years earlier. Back then, the church forced Galileo to live in exile because they viewed his theory that the Earth revolved around the sun as heresy, a position the Vatican did not recant until 1992.   Junk science, as we now call it, was the norm in the middle ages. Scientific discovery by controlled experimentation was rare if not unheard of until the Renaissance. People pretty much took the word of whoever shouted the loudest or had the greatest power. Real science unlike astrology and alchemy was practically invented during the Renaissance by people like Galileo, Descartes, and Newton. Their revolutionary scientific methods continue to guide us today.
