It wasn't that he was trying to refute anything. He, as a scientist, was reporting what he found and what he thought it meant just as scientists do today. His research lead him to note that a scientific method was best in describing information. He said that the sun was the center of the universe and all other planets made orbits around it. Until then, it was thought that the Earth was the center of the universe. We know now that both things are incorrect and that the sun and it's planets are but one of billions in the universe.
Answer #1:Galileo was a philosopher, scientist, physicist, astronomer, and mathematician. He came up with his ideas because he was curious and wanted to explore how things happened.===============================Answer #2:Galileo formulated his theories in the same way that today's best scientists do: by observing things around him, proposing explanations, testing them by experiment, and trying hard to keep his own opinions and desires out of the whole process. That's why, although he was one of many at the time, he's the one that's best remembered.
He didn't give up and kept trying at what he was trying to accomplish.
Im trying to figure out the same thing
Motivation theories can help managers understand what drives employees and tailor strategies to increase engagement and productivity. By applying theories such as Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs or Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory, managers can create a work environment that aligns with employee motivations, leading to improved job satisfaction and performance. Understanding these theories can also help managers identify areas that may be lacking in motivation and implement targeted interventions to address them.
his contributions to astronomy and physics made him famous. He supposedly taught theories that contradicted Aristotle's theories and was eventually put in jail especially for his theory that the earth was not the center of the universe. From what I know, Galileo wasn't put in jail. He was just put on house arrest for the last 9 years of his life. Sine he was very famous.
Yes, they are just trying to get your credit card info.
There several that come to mind since this is a very large subject: Galileo, who said that the sun was the center of the solar system. Another is Steven Hawking who is still trying to find a Theory of Everything but he did predict the existences of Black Holes and Warm Holes.
Catholic AnswerOf course not. Galileo somehow managed to make the biggest mess of a good situation possible. Galileo had many friends "in high places" including one very good friend who became Pope. Everyone kept warning him of two things: stick to what you know, and stop meddling in theology, and only teach theories as theories, not as facts. Galileo got upset and, unbelievably, turned on his friends, ignored all advice, and proceeded to go where he was not competent, and to teach theories as fact without being able to substantiate it. It is a sad story of a man who lost his sense of balance and turned on his friends who were trying to help him. Galileo stood before the court in 1633. Under the threat of torture, he knelt before the cardinals and read aloud a signed confession. in it, he agreed that the ideas of Copernicus were false...I abjure, curse, and detest the aforesaid errors and heresies (of Copernicus) and also ever other error. . . contrary to the Holy Church and I SWEAR THAT IN THE FUTURE i WILL NEVER AGAIN SAY OR ASSERT. . . anything that might cause a similar suspicion toward me... Galileo Galilei, quoted in The Discoveries
The church was angry with Galileo because he said that the sun was the center of the solar system instead of the earth. The church did not believe him as they thought that earth was the center and everything orbited around it...
he was a pathetic little wimp and so are you for trying to read thisand to put it on an essay -ethan
edenham students trying to cheat and revise scientist theories?? you do that urself
If used properly, theories are the first step to research which generally leads to the attainment of knowledge, even if the theory does not pan out.
