Answer»
Answer: The term ‘scientist’ is a relatively new invention, having been coined by British polymath WILLIAM Whewell in 1833. Before then, those who tried to fathom the workings of nature were regarded as philosophers. As such, some regard the Ancient Greek thinker Aristotle to be the first scientist, because of his extensive study of NATURAL phenomena. However, his belief that everything has a purpose, and his reliance on ‘common SENSE’, sometimes led him to erroneous conclusions – such as his idea that HEAVIER objects drop FASTER than lighter ones. |
