Francis Bacon on Age

"Age appears to be best in four things; old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read."

-Francis Bacon

Not many good videos on Francis Bacon exist on youtube, so I thought I would share this video about the lead up to the Copernican revolution and the Renaissance, the time period in which Francis Bacon developed his philosophy and scientific theories.
