Why is Galileo called he father of science?

Answer 1

Aristotelian philosophers of Galileo's day railed at such a mathematical approach to physics, on the grounds that mathematicians pondered immaterial concepts, while Nature consisted entirely of matter. They looked down on mathematicians and denigrated the study of mathematics as inferior-even irrelevant-to natural philosophy. Nature, in their view, could not be expected to follow precise numerical rules.

But Galileo correctly envisioned the experimental, mathematical analysis of Nature as the wave of the future: "There will be opened a gateway and a road to a large and excellent science," he predicted, "into which minds more piercing than mine shall penetrate to recesses still deeper." Among the first to bear out this prophecy was Sir Isaac newton, born within a year of Galileo's death, who codified mathematical laws of motion and universal gravitation.

Posterity agrees that Galileo's great genius lay in his ability to observe the world at hand, to understand the behavior of its parts, and to describe these in terms of mathematical proportions. For these achievements, Albert Einstein dubbed Galileo "the father of modern physics-indeed of modern science altogether."

Answer 2

Galileo is often called the father of science because of his significant contributions to the field of physics and astronomy, particularly his use of the telescope to observe the heavens and challenge prevailing ideas about the universe. His work laid the foundation for the scientific method and the modern approach to studying the natural world.

Answer 3

because Galileo discovered the telescope...

Actually the telescope had already been invented by an awesome dude in Holland.

Galileo heard of it, and made his own simply by using the idea.

He is known as the first modern scientist because he essentially gave all the necessary from the we do not live in a Geocentric Universe.

He discovered the seas on the Moon, Venun's phases, and Jupiters moons.

Answer 4

Galileo started compiling evidence for the Heliocentric system when he "invented" the telescope in 1609. I put "invented" because he in fact was not the first to BUILD a telescope. Galileo was told about an invention that was at an exposition in Venice that was called the "optical tube". From the description that he heard, he was able to determine how this invention worked and quickly built one for his self, claiming to be the first to invent it.

Answer 5

He discovered that the earth revolves around the sun.

Answer 6

Because he was first to use the scientific method.

Answer 7

Galileo was proved as the father of modern science as he discovered many things in the field of science.

Answer 8

He performed experiments and analyzed the results mathematically.

Answer 9

bcos he experimentally analysed mathematical problems

Answer 10

Galileo has been called the father of modern science because his work dealt with the features of the new scientific methodology first foundexplicit formulation and important results.
