Galileo

False. Galileo's principle of inertia stated that an object will remain in its state of motion unless acted upon by an external force. He believed that the natural state of an object was to maintain its current state of motion, whether at rest or moving.

The four moons were discovered sometime between 1609 and 1610 when Galileo made improvements to his telescope, which enabled him to observe celestial bodies more distinctly than had ever been possible before.

As a result of improvements Galileo Galilei made to the telescope, with a magnifying capability of 20×, he was able to see celestial bodies more distinctly than was ever possible before. This allowed Galilei to discover sometime between December 1609 and January 1610 what came to be known as the Galilean moons.

Galileo was amazed to find out that Jupiter had four large moons or satellites (now known as the Galilean moons) orbiting around it. This discovery challenged the geocentric view of the universe and provided strong evidence for the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus.

Galileo Galilei published several influential works, including "Sidereus Nuncius" ("Starry Messenger"), in which he described his observations using a telescope; "Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems," which compared the Copernican and Ptolemaic systems; and "Dialogues Concerning Two New Sciences," which laid the groundwork for the science of dynamics and the study of materials.

Galileo did not come up with the scientific method. The scientific method has roots in ancient Greece and was further developed by other scientists like Francis Bacon and Rene Descartes in the 16th and 17th centuries. Galileo made significant contributions to the development of the scientific method through his experimental work and emphasis on observation and testing hypotheses.

Galileo Galilei studied at the University of Pisa, where he initially pursued a degree in medicine before switching his focus to mathematics and science. He was greatly influenced by the works of ancient Greek philosophers, such as Aristotle and Archimedes, which shaped his approach to scientific inquiry.

Galileo would have observed that both the burlap ball and the 2-pound rock would have hit the ground at the same time. This would have demonstrated that objects fall at the same rate regardless of their weight, disproving the prevailing belief at the time that heavier objects fall faster.

I would say th telescope because the object lets you magnify at least to 40 times and you could see all the germs and dirt in you r water, just today with a telescope I found little pieces of dirt and germs in our tap water and by the way if you use hand sanitizer it usually doesnt help because you would still have 1 germ on your hands which could multiply in to thousands!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Archimedes, a Greek mathematician, scientist, and inventor, is credited with discovering the concept of specific gravity around the 3rd century BC. He is known for his work in physics and mathematics, including the famous "Eureka" moment in which he discovered a method to determine the purity of gold.

With the use of his new invention, the telescope, Galileo was able to verify Copernicus's theory that the Earth revolves around the Sun. He was placed under house arrest for his views, by the Catholic Church.

Galileo Galilei was an Italian polymath who lived in the 16th and 17th centuries. He made significant contributions to the fields of physics, astronomy, and mathematics. Galileo is often referred to as the "father of observational astronomy" for his pioneering use of telescopes to study the night sky.

Aristotle did not discover the moons of Jupiter or mountains on the moon. The discovery of Jupiter's moons was made by Galileo Galilei in 1610. Mountains on the moon were observed by Galileo as well, using his telescope in the early 17th century. Aristotle lived in ancient Greece in the 4th century BC and did not have access to the technology needed for these astronomical observations.

Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer, physicist, and mathematician known as the "father of observational astronomy" and the "father of modern physics." He made significant contributions to the fields of science by improving the telescope, supporting the heliocentric model of the solar system, and making important observations such as the phases of Venus and the moons of Jupiter. His work laid the foundations for the scientific revolution.

The were few if any hospitals when Galileo was born. People were almost always born at home. Birth was not considered a medical condition.

Galileo wrote "The Starry Messenger" to document his groundbreaking observations of celestial bodies through a telescope, such as the mountains on the Moon and the moons of Jupiter. By publishing his findings, Galileo aimed to challenge the prevailing geocentric view of the universe and promote the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus.

Galileo was the first person to use a telescope for astronomical purposes, making significant observations that supported the heliocentric model of the solar system. His astronomical discoveries, such as the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus, revolutionized our understanding of the universe.

He wanted to, demonstrate the rate that objects of different sizes and weight fell. He found that regardless of weight and size, the objects, in this case cannonballs, hit the ground at the same time.

Galileo's impact on the universe as we know it was huge. The fact that the earth revolved around the sun was not known at the time of Galileo, and although Copernicus had created a heliocentric model of the universe before Galileo did, Galileo was the first to actually use evidence. By using the first functional teloscope, he proved that the Earth does actually move, and that the sun, not the Earth was at the center of the universe. Although his books were banned by the Roman Catholic Church and the Pope, and his ideas were shown as ludicrous, Galileo is still known as the "father of modern science."

He had many contributions in the fields of astronomy, by creating the teloscope, in the fields of mathematics and physics and philosophy. He disputed and disproved the ideas of Aristotle, which were held as true during the time. His revolutionary ideas changed the world we know today.

Galileo's 96 theses asserted the Copernican theory that the Earth revolved around the Sun, challenging the geocentric view supported by the Catholic Church. This conflicted with the Church's teachings, which led to Galileo being accused of heresy and placed under house arrest for the remainder of his life.

The hydrostatic balance was an accurate balance that could weigh objects both in water and in the air. Galileo got the idea from the "Eureka" story about Archimedes and the King of Syracuse's crown in which Archimedes had to prove if the king's crown was made of real gold or not. Galileo used some of Archimedes ideas and built his own invention which he called the hydrostatic balance.

Fiber optics, basically, which is the conversion of data into light, transmission over glass fibers and receipt of the light in decipherable format.

BTW he won he Nobel Prize Ocober 6, 2009.
