Francis Bacon (1561-1626) English courtier, philosopher, and author. His books (Advancement of Learning, Novum Organum, The New Atlantis) argued that science should concern itself with what could be perceived (anti-mysticism), that inductive reasoning through experimentation (as opposed to Aristotelian deduction) was the way to draw generalizations out of many specific observations. Bacon started the "Experimental Revolution" in England, and founded what eventually became the Royal Academy.
Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) Italian author and scientist who singlehandedly upset Aristotelian physics by experimentation, by measuring and reducing his observations of the physical world and deriving a mathematical relationship among them, otherwise known as "Mechanics." Founder of telescopic astronomy, the study of the strength of materials, and vindicator of Copernicanism.
Isaac Newton (1642-1727) English author and scientist, who mathematically quantified forces acting on objects, including the force of gravity, co-founder of calculus, and codifier of the Three Laws of Motion. His work ushered in the Age of Reason, where the use of experimentation would be applied to solve mankind's problems.
Across the 150 years in which these men lived, there's a progression from philosophy to theory to experiment to fact. Newton went so far as to exclaim, "If I have seen further than other men, it is because I stood on the shoulders of giants."

Explanation for the answer:
Similarities-
- Sir Issac Newton and Galileo Galilei were two of the most leading scientists of the 17th century.
- Between the two there was a storm of scientific revolution under way.
Differences:
- Galileo made major contributions to the fields of physics, astronomy, cosmology, mathematics and philosophy while Newton is best known for his contribution to physics.
