Galileo

When he was making another gailieio thermonitor he tried measuring some hobos balls but he pee'd on his mouth and his mouth was covered in urine so he died

NAW JUST KIDDING

Galileo's findings challenged the geocentric view of the universe held by the Church, which was in conflict with his heliocentric model. The Church felt that this threatened its authority and interpretation of scripture, leading to Galileo facing accusations of heresy.

He literally put his life on the line advocating that the church (which believed that the earth was at the center of the universe and that the sun revolved around it because of their interpretation of the bible) look to science first when trying to solve problems in nature.

The church tried him, threatened him with torture and execution, and eventually he recanted so as not to be tortured to death.

People in the same era were simply burned to death for lesser heresies, Galileo was a bishop in the church and a friend of the pope, so he got away with a lot more. I think of him as the Lenny Bruce of science. Just like LB is a big part of the reason why people like george carlin don't get arrested for their comedy, Galileo is a big reason why people don't (anymore) get arrested for teachings evolutionary biology and other subjects.

Galileo Galilei, commonly known as Galileo, was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer and philosopher. His achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations, and support for Nicolaus Copernicus.

His contributions to observational astronomy include the telescopic confirmation of the phases of Venus, the discovery of the four largest satellites of Jupiter (named the Galilean moons in his honour), and the observation and analysis of sunspots.

Galileo's championing of Copernicanism was controversial within his lifetime, when a large majority of philosophers and astronomers still subscribed to the geocentric view that the Earth is at the centre of the universe. After 1610, when he began publicly supporting the heliocentric view, which placed the Sun at the centre of the universe, he met with bitter opposition from some philosophers and clerics, and two of the latter eventually denounced him to the Roman Inquisition early in 1615.

galileo was forced to stop studying astronomy after his claim that the earth moved round the sun.

He was correct of course but this went against the christian teachings at the time as they believed that everything revolved around the earth

Not without the help of air resistance.

With plenty of air resistance, a small, light, wadded-up sheet of paper could fall faster than a

big, heavy sheet of lead foil.

In the absence of air resistance, the size, age, weight, mass, shape, race, creed, color, religion,

political persuasion, gender, or national origin of the object has no effect on how it falls. They all

fall with exactly the same acceleration, and all reach the same speed in the same amount of time.

He was charged with heresy by the Inquisition of Pope Urban VIII.
Galileo got imprisoned because he taught the public that the Earth revolved around the sun not the other way around. He got put under house arrest for the rest of his life.

Yes, Galileo observed sunspots through his telescope and made detailed observations of craters on the moon. These observations were significant as they supported the heliocentric model of the solar system and contradicted prevailing ideas about the nature of celestial bodies at the time.

The rotation and revolution of the Earth were not "discovered" by a single individual. The concepts have been understood for centuries through observations by astronomers and scientists. Rotation refers to the Earth's spinning on its axis, causing day and night, while revolution refers to the Earth's orbit around the sun, which takes about one year to complete.

Galileo did not invent the microscope; he is credited with improving the design of the telescope. Galileo's telescope had a magnification of around 30x, which allowed him to make groundbreaking astronomical observations, such as the moons of Jupiter.

Galileo did not invent the sector. The sector was actually invented by the French mathematician and engineer, Pierre Vernier, in 1631. It is a measuring instrument used for solving mathematical problems involving proportion and ratios.

Galileo's invention of the telescope helped him observe the phases of Venus, the moons of Jupiter, and sunspots, which provided evidence for the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus. These observations challenged the geocentric view of the universe and supported the idea that the Earth revolves around the Sun.

The event is now being dismissed; scientists do not believe he actually did the experiment. The fact that the objects would hit at the same time or nearly the same is still true. This was demonstrated on the moon.

Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer, physicist, and engineer who played a major role in the scientific revolution. He improved the telescope, made significant astronomical observations, and supported the Copernican heliocentric theory, challenging the geocentric model of the universe. His work laid the groundwork for modern physics and astronomy.

There were two Until Galileo's experiment, it was widely believed that large objects fell to Earth faster than small ones. That is, it was thought that if two objects of different sizes were dropped from the same height, the larger one would strike the ground first. Galileo showed that not to be the case. But his experiment was extraordinary for another reason. Galileo discredited another Aristotlian idea: that natural phenomena could be explained solely via analysis. Up until Galileo's time, the scientific method had yet to be developed; experimentation was largely unheard of. Proving or disproving a hypothesis via experimentation was not done. Aristotle and his peers believed that natural laws were discovered through discussion and argumentation, and the philosopher who articulated and defended his theories most persuasively was credited with their discovery. Validation through experimentation was not required.
He dropped two cannonballs of different masses from the tower and watched them hit the ground at the same time, disproving Aristotle's theory that mass affects the gravity in acted on an object. He proving that mass doesn't matter but air resistance does. But, it was never proved the experiment was done at the leaning tower of Pisa.
Debates had started up on one of aristoles laws of nature, that heavier objects fell faster than lighter objects. Galileo wanted to try. He needed to be able to drop the weights from a tall height. The perfect building was The leaning tower of Pisa that was 54 metres tall. He dropped the 2 weights and found out that aristole was wrong. Because the two weights fell at the same time.

Galileo did not invent the military compass. The military compass, also known as the mariner's compass, was invented in ancient China during the Han Dynasty (2nd century BC). Galileo Galilei was an Italian scientist known for his work in astronomy and physics during the 16th and 17th centuries.

Galileo was charged with hersey because the Catholic church decided that the idea of the planets going around the Sun was preposterous, they declared that scientists must treat heliocentric thinking as a hypothesis only and not fact. As it turned out Galileo went against the grain and published many works that disputed those, he was told that he may not teach, write, or speak about his ideas as if they were fact, he continued through 2 more popes, eventually he was held on "trial" by the Roman Inquisition, he decided to plea to lesser chargers for less punishment. He was forced to write a document that says he pushed his ideas too hard and put under house arrest where he spent the rest of his days.

One of the greatest men in scientific history, and he wasn't allowed to continue doing work. Stephen Hawking forced to work at McDonalds... YAY RELIGION!

His achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations and support for Copernicanism.

Galileo Galilei's childhood is not talked of much, for his great discovories were made later in his life. What I have learned is that as a childhood, he liked to make little mechines out of objects he found around the house, which were modled off of other machines and toys he had. Many of these machines worked.

Galileo meant that progress and advancement in knowledge are built upon the work of those who came before us, like standing on the shoulders of giants to see further. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing and honoring the contributions of past thinkers in furthering our understanding of the world.
