There is no single answer to that question, because there are many different points at which some crucial scientific advance happened, which some people would identify as the true beginning of modern science, but I will give you my opinion. Galileo Galilei's work on pendulums, in 1581, marks the first truly modern scientific type of thinking and experimentation. Galileo is recognized as the founder of the science of physics, and his work predates anyone else who might be considered a modern scientist. Since it is now the year 2012 (as I type) the year 1581 was 431 years ago. Modern science has been progressing for well over four centuries.
