Galileo Galilei was born February 15, 1564 in Pisa, Italy. He was a Tuscan (Italian) astronomer, physicist, mathematician, inventor, and philosopher. His father, Vincenzo Galilei, was a musical theorist and while doing that he supported his family by selling cloth his mother, Giulia di Cosimo Ammannati, was just a housewife. His father had planned for him to study medicine, but he went to study mathematics. Galileo had many accomplishments / developments that changed our world even till today. He had met someone he liked called Marina Gamba and later on he had three children 1 boy and 2 girls. They were Vincenzo, Maria, and Livia. Both Maria and Livia were nuns. His son Vincenzo was named after his father, because he was the one that sent him to school and study even though he didn't follow what his father had hoped for him. During the time he had met Marina he was in house arrest because he got the Pope mad because of his discovery. So he was in house arrest until his death which is January 8, 1642. Galileo had many accomplishments that made him different from other people during the 15th century. He had entered the University of Pisa when he was like 17 years old. He acquired his knowledge because his dad sent him to university to study medicine, but he actually went to study mathematics. He went to study math because …show more content…
Galileo did not believe this theory but did believe in Archimedes theory that even though bodies (spheres) have different weight the fall velocity is still the same rate. Because of this discovery he had found, this made him unpopular with his colleagues that believe in Aristotle's theory which were a lot. This also affected his job at the university and when his dad died, he didn't have enough money to help him. When he did this it was called the theory of uniform
The themes High Noon and The Most Dangerous Game are actually mostly alike. In both of the stories, the main characters are alone, being hunted, learn about how selfish people can be, and are usually the people who hunt. In The Most Dangerous Game, Zaroff doesn't care about anyone or anything, and only shows the slightest bit of emotion when Rainsford kills one of his best dogs. "'You've done well, Rainsford,' the voice of the general called. 'Your Burmese tiger pit has claimed one of my best dogs. Again you score, I think, Mr. Rainsford.'" This happened again when Ivan gets killed. General Zaroff stops for a moment, and then moves on like Ivan was just another one of his toys that had to be replaced. In High Noon, Will Kane is left for dead by his friends and then told to leave the town. Also, he gets no help from anybody when they learn that Frank Miller is coming back to town to kill him. Even though the themes might be alike in many ways, in High Noon,
In fifteenth eighty eight Galileo had applied for the job of teaching mathematics at the University of Bologna but he was later unsuccessful. His reputation was, however, increasing by a lot, and later that same year, he was asked to deliver two important lectures to the Florentine Academy, which was a very prestigious literary group. He also found some theorems on centers of gravity that brought him a lot of recognition among his fellow mathematicians and the patronage of Guidobaldo del Monte who lived from fifteenth forty five to sixteenth seven. He was also a nobleman and author of several important works on the field of mechanics. As a
He was a mathematics professor, he also constructed a telescope and supported the Copernican theory, which supported a sun-centered solar system. He was one of six children, first child. His father was Vincenzo Galilei, was a well-known musician, where Galileo started his real education was at Camaldolese monastery in Vallombrosa. In 1583, he entered the university of Pisa to start his study on medicine.
Galileo Galilei had many events occur in his life that may have affected his later decisions and huge impact during the Renaissance & Reformation. First, Galileo’s father was a scholar, along with other professions. Seeing his father study and absorb all the knowledge he could may have impacted Galileo to act the same way. He must have acquired his father’s intelligence and scholarly nature, demonstrating that his father
Galileo was a coward because he didn’t stick up for what he believed and was threatened by the church. HIs ideas was found that a falling object accelerates at a fixed

Along with his mathematical ability, Galileo was creative enough to modify the spyglass so that he improved upon the original design, as his design was 38 inches in length with larger lenses, and furthermore had a 20x magnification. While still at the University of Pisa, Galileo published “On Motion”, detailing views on motion and falling objects, and gave some of his first strident criticisms of Aristotle. In answer to many scientific problems, Galileo differed considerably from Aristotle in his views. One of the most important of Galileo’s discoveries was the Universal Law of Acceleration and the Law of Gravity. Aristotle believed that an object fell to the ground because it had similar properties to one of the other 4 elements(Earth), and that heavier objects fell faster.
Even at his old age, instead of giving up science after his debate at the Inquisition, ‘Galileo was determined to uncover the truth about many questions of physics’ (Panchyk 144). 6 years after he published his controversial book Dialogue on the Two Chief World Systems, 1638 was the year Galileo completed yet another book called the ‘Two New Sciences, the book to which his lasting fame as a physicist is attached’ (ed. Shea xxviii). Here Galileo historically established mathematical laws describing ‘the motion of falling bodies. Understanding the forces that cause bodies to fall, and that hold the entire system together, he had to leave to his successors, notably Newton’ (Meadows 29).
Galileo was a man that wouldn't give up. Did you know his middle finger is on display in a museum(history.com). He is know for making the telescope(Demuth). He was born on February 15, 1564(Demuth). He was born in Pisa, Italy(Demuth). He grew up in Pisa and Florence(Demuth). He had 5 siblings 3 boys and 2 girls(Demuth).
“That moment when the Church excommunicates you for being right.” In 1564 on February 15th in Pisa, Italy, Galileo Galilei was born. Throughout his life he had numerous accomplishments including being the first person to study the sky with a telescope, which led to numerous other astronomically astronomical discoveries. If he would not have existed we may never have uncovered many of the truths about space and astronomy. Galileo Galilei was a man of thought and curiosity, these characteristics led him to be one the most well known and influential scientists in the world today.
The first scene the audience took in was the little café where we learn about our main characters. The lighting of just the café sign first before the rest of the stage lights I thought was very creative, and allows for the audience to understand the setting in which draws them into ta new world. Dead Man’s Cell Phone was overall an interesting experience that gave light to many interesting concepts and points about today’s society. I felt the concept of the play was very interesting since now everyone has a cell phone, and it makes you wonder what would happen to it if you died. I felt that this plot was very original from other plays and musicals I have seen, also it was very modern.
Born on February 15, 1564, in Pisa, Italy, Galileo Galilei taught mathematics, while creating numerous interesting inventions like the telescope along with his observations about nature. He also helped lead and support the idea of a sun-centered solar system, called the Copernican theory. He was the firstborn of six children born to the well-known musician and music theorist, Vincenzo Galilei. In 1583, Galileo entered the University of Pisa to study medicine, although he soon became fascinated with many subjects, particularly mathematics and physics, which he would pursue for the rest of his life. Galileo died in Arcetri, Italy, on January 8, 1642, after suffering from a fever and heart problems.
He devised a simple thermometer and inspired a pupil, Evangelista Torricelli, to invent the barometer. Galileo’s great contribution to scientific thinking was the principle of inertia. Before his time everyone followed Aristotle’s theory that when an object moved, something had to act continuously to keep it moving. Galileo countered this with the theory that if a body is moving freely, something must happen to stop it or to make it change
Galileo was born in Pisa along the Via del Cuore in 1564 to Vincenzo Galileo, a man known for his study of music, and Giuli Ammananti. When Galileo was ten he moved to Florance.1 At eleven young Galileo was sent to Vallombrosa for school. At fifteen Galileo decided to be a monk, but because of his father gave up his ambition. In the late summer of 1581 Galileo entered the University of Pisa and embarked on a course of study in medicine. Studying the Aristotelian system, which states larger heavier objects from high places, Galileo became increasingly skeptical. Evidence of Galileo’s brilliance was assured when in 1583, he was attending service in the cathedral and he saw that the flames of the candles osculated back
In 1589, he was back to Pisa and was appointed to the chair of mathematics. Two years later, his father dies and had to support his younger brother. He then moved and taught in the University of Padua. During that time Galileo met Marina Gamba and although he was religious he fathered three children by her without marriage. Because he had two
