Galileo

he invented the microscope

Galileo Galilei was important to the Renaissance because he made significant advancements in the fields of physics and astronomy. His observations using the telescope provided evidence supporting Copernicus' heliocentric theory, challenging the prevailing geocentric view. Galileo's work laid the foundation for modern scientific inquiry and his willingness to question authority and advocate for the pursuit of knowledge influenced the development of the scientific method.

he made phrases of the moon and first to use a telescope

They both belived that the Sun was in the center of the solar system.

A body moving on a level surface will continue in the same direction at constant speed unless disturbed. it is just like newtons first law

They believed in a heliocentric universe. This meaning that the earth was not the center of the universe, but that the sun was. However, many people , including the church, did not agree with this theory. Instead they believed in a geocentric universe. Plato and Aristotle believed in this theory.

A model is never technically disproven or proven. The ptolemaic model is no longer accepted because it does not adequately explain observations. The heliocentric model was accepted gradually because it was a better explanation for observed phenomena. However, people continued to believe the ptolemaic model long after it was irrational to do so.

Galileo was put on trial for questioning the Catholic faith, because he believed strongly that the Earth was not the centre of the universe. Catholic doctrine at that point perceived that Earth had been created by God and that the entire universe was based around the Earth, with all other objects revolving around it. Galileo sought to prove that the Earth orbited around the Sun and not the other way around, and his religious beliefs were called into question as a result -- in the Catholic Church's eyes, Galileo's belief that the Earth was not the centre of the universe was a blasphemy.

Actually, Galileo had a large following among the Roman Curia, including the pope. However, Galileo got himself into trouble by teaching that the heliocentric (Sun-centered universe) theory was fact. However, at the time it was just a theory or hypothesis and Galileo even stated that he could not prove it. Had he changed his approach to the subject we never would have heard today of the controversy. Unfortunately, Galileo was not a humble person and had quite a temper and sarcastic manner and began to attack the Church in speech and his writing. Even his close friend the pope became the target of his rage. Of course, this did not endear him to the Church and he lost much of his standing with the Roman clergy.

There probably were a few people who believed him right when he came up with his theory. On 31 October 1992, 350 years after Galileo's death, Pope John Paul II gave an address on behalf of the Catholic Church in which he admitted that errors had been made by the theological advisors in the case of Galileo. He declared the Galileo case closed, but he did not admit that the Church was wrong to convict Galileo on a charge of heresy because of his belief that the Earth rotates round the sun.

Nicolaus Copernicus's scientific ideas regarding the universe and specifically the idea of heliocentrism were at odds with the generally accepted ideas of his time. It was difficult for people to accept these new ideas, made even more difficult by the Catholic Church's powerful opposition to them for some time.

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

He did not discover the planet Jupiter. He only used his telescope to see its four largest moons. The planet is and always has been visible to the naked eye and was known to people since ancient times.

Galileo DID NOT discover Mars. Mars has always been visible from Earth to the unaided human eye and was known to and named by our ancient ancestors. Galileo is believed to be the first person to view Mars though a telescope in 1609.

Isaac Newton was a very important scientist in history contributing to theories such as the Law of Gravity. One important link to his discovers was he felt science and religion were linked together by science proving belief in his God.

Copernicus produced his model with the Sun at the centre in 1543, and then in 1609 Kepler produced the model that we use now. Kepler's model also uses the idea of having the Sun at the centre. No-one proved anything but after Newton's discoveries in physics it was realised that Kepler's model fitted exactly with Newton's later theories in gravity and dynamics, so that's why it became accepted, and it still is.

He produced increasingly powerful telescopes, through observing Moon's phases he discovered that Moon is not smooth, he discovered four moons revolving around Jupiter, he had discovered the puzzling appearance of Saturn, later to be shown as caused by a ring surrounding it, in Florence he discovered that Venus goes through phases just as the Moon does.

The most important discovery Galileo made to support the heliocentric model was his telescopic observation of the phases of Venus. From Earth, Venus appears in phases like those of the moon's - new, waxing crescent, waxing gibbous, full, waning gibbous, and waning crescent. In the Ptolemaic model Venus is never on the far side of the sun from Earth, and so it would never display the gibbous or full phases. On his first observation to check for Venusian phases he saw a gibbous Venus at once invalidating the Ptolemaic model. Over several months he continued his observations and saw Venus changing phase to half, and waning crescent confirming that Venus orbited the sun.

Leeuwenhoek used the lenses to see the microscopic world (i. e. Microbiology) whereas Galileo used lenses to observe the stars and planets ( i. e. in Astronomy).

Because he had already known the knowledge and he didn't need to it really wasn't required for him but he did become successful so yeah there you go

Galileo died of natural causes in 1642, when he was almost 78 years old. He was already suffering ill-health, having been blind for several years, and also having a hernia. Just prior ti his death, he had a high fever and heart palpitations.

At the time, he was serving life imprisonment (under house arrest) for his writings which contradicted the teaching of the Roman Catholic church and supported Copernicus, who was seen as a heretic.

He didn't know it, he just brought out a new theory that showed that with the Sun at the centre the planets' paths could be explained more simply.

That was in 1543 and Kepler produced another heliocentric theory in 1609 which had the planets moving in elliptical orbits round the Sun.

The only thing in favour of Kepler's theory at the time was that it explained the planets' positions more accurately than previous theories. But 80-90 years later Newton's discoveries in gravity and the laws of motion were used to prove by theory that the planets must move in elliptical orbits.

Galileo's theory of motion is principle of inertia. It is basically the same thing as Newton's law of motion since he based it on Galileo. It says that an object will remain still or keep moving in constant speed unless affected by another force.

Because he was the first person in the world to draw sketches of the Moon and the Moons of Jupiter.
