They say that the sky is the limit and there are no two people who have demonstrated the ability to surpass that limit than Galileo and Descartes. Galileo and Descartes are two of the best thinkers of all time. They both changed the way that we look at science and philosophy today even though their beliefs were rejected by the common people and communities relating to their field.
