groundbreaking observations that contributed to modern physics and astronomy. Galileo established mathematics as the language of scientific discovery. He founded the scientific method and helped establish the modern practice of experimentation and calculated laws of nature. In July of 1609, Galileo developed his own telescope and with it, he made several astronomical discoveries. For example, Galileo discovered that the surface of the moon is rough and uneven as opposed to smooth as people had thought. Galileo
able to make revolutionary discoveries to the fields of physics, astronomy, cosmology, mathematics and philosophy. His’s telescopic discoveries made Europeans question the Church’s belief that the Earth was the center of the universe. Galileo’s discoveries
Throughout his life and career, Galileo was credited with such revolutionary discoveries that sparked the Galilean Revolution. It is in my opinion that his revolutionary work is due to him distancing himself from his predecessors via experiments, observations, thought experiments, and heavy criticism of past works. Galileo’s methodology in the acquisition of knowledge is evident in his contributions to physics. One of Galileo’s first contributions can be seen in Two New Sciences, where Galileo discussed
means rebirth in French and that’s what the renaissance actually did. It was the rebirth of arts, philosophy, religion, music, literjs and how the people use to think. A lot of things changed people used to pay the church to remove their sins and when the renaissance they actually started doing good deeds to remove their sins. And oil painting many new things in art were created in renaissance. Galileo galilei known as “The Father of Modern Science” was an astronomer, physicist, engineer, philosopher
A common view of the establishment is that the Church is led by corrupt, old men who are strongly oppose scientific advancement if the science disagrees with the Church doctrine. It was all because, according to the Pope and bishops, Galileo’s “pretended discovery vitiated the whole Christian plan of salvation” (qtd. in Battershall). Coming out of the dark ages, the church had prevented scientific achievement under the belief that people’s time was better spent attempting to reach a peaceful afterlife
For thousands of years now, people have been observing the sky and the universe. Most would assume that this did not happen until the Renaissance period, from the 14th to the 17th century, when in fact it started much earlier than that. We can thank many of the Greeks for this matter, such as Aristotle for an example. The main reasons for the use of looking at the sky was obvious in many cases, the two main reasons were for traveling and farming. It was essential for surviving to know the seasons
of 8 at the Camaldolese Monastery at Vallombrosa, which brought a close connection to the Christian religion. Following in his father’s footsteps, Galileo became an accomplished lutenist, which later expanded the intellectual catechism of how the world works. Michelangelo, the youngest of his siblings, was also a lutenist but had financial
universe for man to figure out and discover, and they were sure that the work they were doing, independently, was the truth behind it all. Many people at the time, including the Catholic Church, did not agree with their work believing it was anti-religious and went against the word of God. The Catholic Church, quite offended by their work, punished both men for their publications. Kepler and Galileo stood by their work and believed that what they had accomplished was all for God. Kepler and
was about how Galileo attempted to pass on his heliocentric plans to the Catholic Church. Shockingly, things would not end to support him. In the start of the play, it depicts Galileo as a normal man with a youthful understudy. Galileo would, in the end, locate an amazing "discovery," and construct a telescope, the first of its kind. Or, then again, so they thought. All through the play, Galileo would need to defeat many obstacles keeping in mind the end goal to demonstrate his discoveries revise.
science." His experimental work is widely considered complementary to the writings of Francis Bacon in establishing the modern scientific method. Galileo's career coincided with that of Johannes Kepler. The work of Galileo is considered to be a significant break from that of
