the gravity is the same and will fall at the same time. except if the thing is flat, and there will be air resistance so it will go slower to the ground. eg : paper :)) add me on facebook hanifati sabilaa :p

∙ 10y agoGalileo Galilei was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer and philosopher who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. He lived from 1564 - 1642, and one of his most famous achievements was making a telescope that was 300x clearer than the original (first) one (but he didn't create the first telescope). Galileo Galilei found that falling objects fell faster/slower depending on the mass of the object, not the weight. He experimented his theory at the Leaning Tower of Pisa and dropped balls of the same material, but different weight.

∙ 10y agoGalileo Galilei was another person, amongst many others previous to him, who stated that all falling objects accelerate at the same rate. John Philoponus, for example, had already stated the same thing in AD 516; as had Simon Stevin and Benedetto Varchi in the late 1500s. Aristotle had stated that an object weighing ten times as much as another object would fall ten times faster than the latter -- but he was completely wrong. Anyone who drops a glass marble and a Bowling ball at the same time can readily see this.

∙ 14y agoYes and and he proved that the higher the object the faster it falls down.

How did people react to Galileo theory?
they thought he was stupid until he proved it with his invention of the telescope
Did Galileo agree with the universe view of Copernicus?
They both agreed everything revolves around the Sun. this answer was improved by me! ok the answer is correct, but Copernicus and Galileo believed that all planets including the Earth, revovlves around the Sun which is a ball of plasma (a little science haha!). ARISTOTLE WAS SOOO WRONG WITH PLOTOLOMY! THE PLANETS AND SUN DO NOT REVOVLVE AROUND THE EARTH! AND ARISTOTLE WAS VERY SMART AND PROBABLY THE GREATEST PHILOSOPHER OF all TIME BUT HE SAID MANY THINGS WRONG LIKE ALL MEN ARE BORN SLAVES AND THAT THE PLANET THEORY TOO! SO NOT ALL PHILOSOPHERS ARE RIGHT! the inquisition was wrong of putting Galileo through all that trouble. At the end of the inquisition court, Galileo muttered under his lips, "you fools i am right, the earth does move and does not stay still."
Who was Galileo Galilee?
Galileo Galilei was born in Pisa, Italy on February 15, 1564. He was the oldest of seven children. His father was a musician and wool trader, who wanted his son to study medicine as there was more money in medicine. At age eleven, Galileo was sent off to study in a Jesuit monastery.Galileo Galilei - Rerouted from Religon to ScienceAfter four years, Galileo had announced to his father that he wanted to be a monk. This was not exactly what father had in mind, so Galileo was hastily withdrawn from the monastery. In 1581, at the age of 17, he entered the University of Pisa to study medicine, as his father wished. Galileo Galilei - Law of the PendulumAt age twenty, Galileo noticed a lamp swinging overhead while he was in a cathedral. Curious to find out how long it took the lamp to swing back and forth, he used his pulse to time large and small swings. Galileo discovered something that no one else had ever realized: the period of each swing was exactly the same. The law of the pendulum, which would eventually be used to regulate clocks, made Galileo Galilei instantly famous. Except for mathematics, Galileo Galilei was bored with university. Galileo's family was informed that their son was in danger of flunking out. A compromise was worked out, where Galileo would be tutored full-time in mathematics by the mathematician of the Tuscan court. Galileo's father was hardly overjoyed about this turn of events, since a mathematician's earning power was roughly around that of a musician, but it seemed that this might yet allow Galileo to successfully complete his college education. However, Galileo soon left the University of Pisa without a degree.Galileo Galilei - MathematicsTo earn a living, Galileo Galilei started tutoring students in mathematics. He did some experimenting with floating objects, developing a balance that could tell him that a piece of, say, gold was 19.3 times heavier than the same volume of water. He also started campaigning for his life's ambition: a position on the mathematics faculty at a major university. Although Galileo was clearly brilliant, he had offended many people in the field, who would choose other candidates for vacancies. Galileo Galilei - Dante's InfernoIronically, it was a lecture on literature that would turn Galileo's fortunes. The Academy of Florence had been arguing over a 100-year-old controversy: What were the location, shape, and dimensions of Dante's Inferno? Galileo Galilei wanted to seriously answer the question from the point of view of a scientist. Extrapolating from Dante's line that "[the giant Nimrod's] face was about as long/And just as wide as St. Peter's cone in Rome," Galileo deduced that Lucifer himself was 2,000 arm-length long. The audience was impressed, and within the year, Galileo had received a three-year appointment to the University of Pisa, the same university that never granted him a degree! The Leaning Tower of PisaAt the time that Galileo arrived at the University, some debate had started up on one of Aristotle's "laws" of nature, that heavier objects fell faster than lighter objects. Aristotle's word had been accepted as gospel truth, and there had been few attempts to actually test Aristotle's conclusions by actually conducting an experiment! According to legend, Galileo decided to try. He needed to be able to drop the objects from a great height. The perfect building was right at hand--the Tower of Pisa, 54 meters tall. Galileo climbed up to the top of the building carrying a variety of balls of varying size and weight, and dumped them off of the top. They all landed at the base of the building at the same time (legend says that the demonstration was witnessed by a huge crowd of students and professors). Aristotle was wrong.However, Galileo Galilei continued to behave rudely to his colleagues, not a good move for a junior member of the faculty. "Men are like wine flasks," he once said to a group of students. "...look at....bottles with the handsome labels. When you taste them, they are full of air or perfume or rouge. These are bottles fit only to pee into!"Not surprisingly, the University of Pisa chose not to renew Galileo's contract.Necessity is the Mother of InventionGalileo Galilei moved on to the University of Padua. By 1593, he was desperate in need of additional cash. His father had died, so Galileo was the head of his family, and personally responsible for his family. Debts were pressing down on him, most notably, the dowry for one of his sisters, which was paid in installments over decades (a dowry could be thousands of crowns, and Galileo's annual salary was 180 crowns). Debtor's prison was a real threat if Galileo returned to Florence. What Galileo needed was to come up with some sort of device that could make him a tidy profit. A rudimentary thermometer (which, for the first time, allowed temperature variations to be measured) and an ingenious device to raise water from aquifers found no market. He found greater success in 1596 with a military compass that could be used to accurately aim cannonballs. A modified civilian version that could be used for land surveying came out in 1597, and ended up earning a fair amount of money for Galileo. It helped his profit margin that 1) the instruments were sold for three times the cost of manufacture, 2) he also offered classes on how to use the instrument, and 3) the actual toolmaker was paid dirt-poor wages.A good thing. Galileo needed the money to support his siblings, his mistress (a 21 year old with a reputation as a woman of easy habits), and his three children (two daughters and a boy). By 1602, Galileo's name was famous enough to help bring in students to the University, where Galileo was busily experimenting with magnets.A Italian mathematicians that studied refracting telescopes. he made a powerful telescope.
Who created classification?
First, Galelie(is that right?)Galileo invented it.Then Carolus Linnaus came along and improved it.
What was the big coincidence between Isaac Newton and Galileo?
Issac Newton was a guy who made gravity and helped Galileo make gravity when he made the telescope I know you are a kid so tell me I have a nerd friend right next to me.
Who one do you think got it right Aristotle or Galileo?
Galileo got it right. But he had built a telescope so he had an advantage.

What would of happened if Aristotle was right?
If he was right, someone else is going to be wrong.
What was Aristotles astronomic discovery?
Aristotle really didn't make any discoveries. In fact, Aristotle may have been the WRONG-EST man who ever lived. His knowledge of chemistry was laughable; his physics were primitive. Aristotle wrote that heavier objects fall faster than light ones, which Galileo proved wrong 1500 years later.His incorrect writings about medicine and physiology may have killed more people than any other person. For example, Aristotle wrote that women have fewer teeth than men do. He was wrong. He was MARRIED; why didn't he ask his wife to open her mouth, and LOOK? Aristotle insisted that logic and philosophy outweigh evidence and experiment, which is entirely ANTI-science.Aristotle's pig-headed ignorance, and the insistence of his followers that Aristotle must have been right because he was so famous may have retarded the development of all the sciences for two thousand years.In astronomy, Aristotle insisted that the Sun, Moon and all the planets went around the Earth in perfect circles. Astronomers labored for 1800 years trying to figure out what sorts of circles, before finally accepting that Aristotle had been completely wrong.
What did Alexander the Great become of Aristotle's teaching?

Who was Nickolaus Copernicus and what was his famous theory?
He had a theory that the earth revolved around the sun. Hundreds of years later, scientists proved he was right. Back then, everybody believed Aristotle and they thought the earth was at the center of the universe and everything revolved around it. Galileo kind of based his theory on that too, but it was Copernicus who thought of it.
When was the Galileo Galilei page on Wikipedia put out?
