Galileo is the bridge between ancient science and modern science. His greatest contribution consisted of using data and ideas. He looked at the stars and nature to guide his studies, while Aristotle and others relied on imagination rather than inspection.
Galileo's greatest contribution to me, is his idea in The Assayer 1623:
"Philosophy is written in this grand book, the universe, which stands continually open to our gaze. But the book cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and read the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometric figures without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it; without these one is wandering in a dark labyrinth."
According to Stephen Hawking, Galileo probably bears more of the responsibility for the birth of modern science than anybody else,[132] and Albert Einstein called him the father of modern science.[133]
Galileo's astronomical discoveries and investigations into the Copernican theory have led to a lasting legacy which includes the categorisation of the four large moons of Jupiterdiscovered by Galileo (Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto) as the Galilean moons. Other scientific endeavours and principles are named after Galileo including the Galileo spacecraft,[134]the first spacecraft to enter orbit around Jupiter, the proposed Galileo global satellite navigation system, the transformation between inertial systems in classical mechanics denotedGalilean transformation and the Gal (unit), sometimes known as the Galileo which is a non-SI unit of acceleration.
Partly because 2009 was the fourth centenary of Galileo's first recorded astronomical observations with the telescope, the United Nations scheduled it to be the International Year of Astronomy.[135] A global scheme laid out by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), it has also been endorsed byUNESCO - the UN body responsible for Educational, Scientific and Cultural matters. The International Year of Astronomy 2009 is intended to be a global celebration of astronomy and its contributions to society and culture, stimulating worldwide interest not only in astronomy but science in general, with a particular slant towards young people

he ate banana's and left the peel on the floor hence making a chain reaction from a person who slips which then makes somebody else trip over him, which then gets a guard injured which causes a riot, which then causes a massacre, which then causes a war and the end. point he's contribution to society was messing it up...
Yes it would be very different. There wouldn't be all of the inventions and contributions to inventions he had made.
Galileo used more advanced technology to find stronger observational evidence than Copernicus was ever able to provide.
Galileo Galilei proved that objects in the solar system orbit around the sun, not the earth. He found this out by observing variations in venus's phases that could not be explained if all objects orbited the earth
he told every one that the earth revolved around the sun. they thought it revolved around the earth
Galileo used his telescope to look into space where he noticed that Nicalous Copernicus was correct in saying that the Earth revolves around the sun. Which Galileo was arrested for believing.

They believed that the Earth was the centre of the universe even after Galileo presented his idea. It was later proven that the sun was the centre of the universe.
Galileo's quarrel with the church over the heliocentric theory opened a gap that left the religious authorities suspicious of scientists, do the detriment of both.

Italy Mainly from Galileo's contributions I belive
