Answer:

It supplanted the almost 2,000 year-old Greek concept of nature that had dominated science. Abstract thinking, quantitative cognition, a grasp of how nature works, the idea of nature as a machine, and the creation of an experimental scientific method were all hallmarks of the Scientific Revolution.
