The model should be (1) descriptive, (2) predictive, and (3) prescriptive, leading to actions. Francis Bacon in Novum Organum wrote, Nature to be commanded must be obeyed. ..

Another explanation of the phenomenon of heat could be found already in the writings of Francis Bacon in 1620. He writes, after a long discourse summarizing philosophical and experimental knowledge, in his book Novum Organum that "the very essence of heat, or the substantial self of heat is motion and nothing else." The types of motion discussed do not always link with molecular motion as we know it today, and, obviously, Bacon also did not convince all of his peers. One had to wait for additional experimental evidence for major progress.
