Galileo is a very well know scientist that lived during the renaissance. He was an astronomer, scientist, university professor,& physicist. Some important discoveries he made was that he invented the telescope, found out that whether things sink or float are based on their density not their mass, he discovered wind resistance & he found out that objects will fall at the same speed no matter their mass. Galileo was a scientist who effected the world. He changed the way people thought. He said that
The person I chose to research is Galileo Galilei. Galileo was an innovator who had enormous impact on society because he discovered a lot of things that would still be unknown if he hadn’t pointed them out. Galileo was born February 15, 1581, in Pisa, Italy. He was the first born child of seven children born to Vincenzo Galilei a musician who made important contributions to the theory and practice of music and who may have performed some experiments with Galileo and Giulia Ammannati. In 1574, the
Galileo and the Catholic Church The condemnation of Galileo Galilei by the Catholic Church is a historic piece of history that is often misunderstood. Galileo was a renowned Italian physicist and astronomer of the 17th century and his conclusions were scrutinized by his peers and Church officials alike. This made Galileo a target of many complaints. It is believed that Galileo was condemned by the Inquisition in 1633 because he stood up for his belief in Copernicus’s theory that the earth was not
Galileo and the Leaning Tower of Pisa Alexius Sparkman Physical Science February 21, 2018 Abstract Galileo Galilei, an Italian astronomer, natural philosopher, and mathematician that made fundamental contributions to the sciences of motion, and astronomy. One of his greatest contributions to science was emphasis on experimentation, basic part of the scientific method (Chapter 1.2). His formulation of inertia and the law of falling bodies marked the beginning of a fundamental change in the study
Galileo Galilei was an extraordinary astronomer who contributed to many different fields, but in particular to astronomy. He improved on a telescope that allows you to observe the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn. He was also able to view the phases of Venus including the sunspots and uneven surface of the moon. Galileo began to publish papers about his ideas and discoveries, which included his belief in a heliocentric universe. Galileo was born in 1564 in Pisa, Italy. He was one of six
supposed to, look at stars. Utilizing his pre-telescope creation, Brahe was able to observe a star above the moon in 1572. Finding this star was revolutionary, because it refuted Aristotle’s idea about the upper atmosphere. This was one of his first accomplishments, he proved that the heavens are changeable opposed to the previous belief that the heavens were unchanging. Brahe’s finding of a comet in 1575 further proved that Aristotle’s point was off, when he discovered a comet that was farther away from
Christiaan Huygens Christiaan Huygens played an essential role in some of the most incredible discoveries in math, astronomy and physics. His role in scientific history touches everything from what we now understand about the theory of light waves in three dimensions, to the concept of centrifugal force, to even basic things that are now learned in elementary school classes, such as astronomy behind the rings of Saturn. Huygens's creative and scientific processes were intertwined from an early age
universe is actually heliocentric, with the sun at the center (“De Revolutionibus”). Galileo advanced Copernicus’s theory by adding that the universe is not perfect, as previously believed, but rather flawed like the Earth. He saw that the moon had mountains and craters and that Jupiter also had moons orbiting it. Galileo’s discoveries undermined the Aristotelian universe. Another conflicting perspective that Galileo made was to not take the Bible so literally because of the fact that it was written
been a big part of the change in European beliefs as they presented their belief or discovery. Galileo Galilei and Nicolaus Copernicus are the scientists who have discovered or made their thoughts and beliefs on the geocentric and heliocentric theory and had people believe in these theories. In the way that Galileo Galilei and Nicolaus Copernicus with the theory of geocentric and heliocentric is how Galileo Galilei and Nicolaus Copernicus changed the European beliefs. The Catholic Church was a big part
