My+man+Galileo+Galilei!



Galileo Galilei Born in Pisa Italy (1564-1642)    Italian scientist **Galileo Galilei** planned to become a doctor but he became a great mathematician and enjoyed studying the subject but he specially got involved with astronomy after reading Copernicus and Giordano Bruno’s work. He was convinced that Copernicus was right and it was up to him to prove him right. In his early days he studied the pendulum which got him into further study on time intervals and his idea of a pendulum clock was born. While in the University of Pisa he also studied Aristotle’s work on physics(Greek scientist ) and soon proved him wrong. Galileo proved that all objects regardless of their weight and density fall at the same time. Perhaps all of his accomplishments where great but Galileo is remembered the most for his improvement of the __telescope in 1609__. Convex and concave lenses helped him magnify objects to a point where he could see 32 diameters worth and he could start his work in astronomy. He was astonished by his findings of the moons uneven surface and Jupiter’s 4 satellites. The moons that revolved around Jupiter where now proof that not everything revolved around the Earth so it could not be possible for the Earth to be the center of the universe. Because he was provoking chaos in the Church and questioning beliefs that have been around for so long he was ordered to present his findings as theories not facts in his book //Dialogue on the Two Chief World Systems.// It created such chaos and made people nervous which led him to threats and was forced to go under house arrest until his death in 1642.

In our generation we are driven by time.    It is an essential to our lives and we owe our         thankyous to Galileo for starting the idea of         the first clock with the pendulum. Not just the        pendulum clock but the improvement of the         telescope too. Starts to the naked        eye are just shinny dots in the abundant sky,     <span class="body" style="display: block; font-size: 80%; color: #f7a1a1; background-color: #d2f4f3; text-align: right;">    but to Galileo that was not enough. His work has now    <span class="body" style="display: block; font-size: 80%; color: #f7a1a1; background-color: #d2f4f3; text-align: right;">    helped us to understand our environment     <span class="body" style="display: block; font-size: 80%; color: #f7a1a1; background-color: #d2f4f3; text-align: right;">    and to finally know the truth. Our planet    <span class="body" style="display: block; font-size: 80%; color: #f7a1a1; background-color: #d2f4f3; text-align: right;">    does move and the sun is in the center, not     <span class="body" style="display: block; font-size: 80%; color: #f7a1a1; background-color: #d2f4f3; text-align: right;">    the Earth. We are not the center of    <span class="body" style="display: block; font-size: 80%; color: #f7a1a1; background-color: #d2f4f3; text-align: right;">    attention people! Because of heros like Galileo,    <span class="body" style="display: block; font-size: 80%; color: #f7a1a1; background-color: #d2f4f3; text-align: right;">    we know the truth and ignorance is one step     <span class="body" style="display: block; font-size: 80%; color: #f7a1a1; background-color: #d2f4f3; text-align: right;">    behind it all. After Galileo risked his life so    <span class="body" style="display: block; font-size: 80%; color: #f7a1a1; background-color: #d2f4f3; text-align: right;">    people could know the truth, everyone     <span class="body" style="display: block; font-size: 80%; color: #f7a1a1; background-color: #d2f4f3; text-align: right;">    started to become a little more curious with their     <span class="body" style="display: block; font-size: 80%; color: #f7a1a1; background-color: #d2f4f3; text-align: right;">    surroundings and were hungry to find out more     <span class="body" style="display: block; font-size: 80%; color: #f7a1a1; background-color: #d2f4f3; text-align: right;">    of lifes little hidden secrets. This would eventually    <span class="body" style="display: block; font-size: 80%; color: #f7a1a1; background-color: #d2f4f3; text-align: right;">    lead to more and more scientist to dig up more     <span class="body" style="display: block; font-size: 80%; color: #f7a1a1; background-color: #d2f4f3; text-align: right;">    dirt. Role models like Galileo have    <span class="body" style="display: block; font-size: 80%; color: #f7a1a1; background-color: #d2f4f3; text-align: right;">    led us to what we are today.
