Topic > Galileo's discoveries about how things work - 1698

Have you ever thought about the different types of resources or laws that explain and define the wonders of the world? All the things that explain and describe the way things work did not arise from nothing, someone; somewhere they have thought deeply about these laws, experimented and worked hard just to make sure they come to the correct conclusions. Despite many obstacles placed in his way, the Italian philosopher Galileo Gallilei still managed to develop a large amount of laws that defined and explained how things work. He has taken the laws of others and examined them, he has faced family challenges and difficulties with the church, but none of the conditions that have tested him have been able to stop him from accomplishing all the things he committed to do during his life. his life. . Galileo is now known as the father of modern astronomy. Galileo Di Vincenzo Bonaiut De' Gallilei was born on February 15, 1564 in Pisa, Italy. He was the son of Vincenzo Gallilei and Giulia Ammannati. His father Vincenzo was born in Florence, Italy in 1520 and his mother was born in Pescia. He came from a noble family but was not rich. He was the first of six children. Only three of his siblings survived childhood. His brothers were Michelagnolo, Benedetto, Virginia and Livia, the name of the last sister is not known. In 1572, when Galileo was only eight years old, his family moved to Florence, Italy. Galileo remained in Pisa and lived with a relative of his mother. Two years later he moved to Florence to reunite with his family. As a boy, Galileo was educated by Jacopo Borghini until he was old enough to attend a real school. When he was finally old enough he began attending school at Camaldolse Monastery in Vallambrosa, which was about thirty-five kilometers to the southwest, once a week while under house arrest. While he was under house arrest a French translation of his work on forces and their effects was published. During his sentence under house arrest he became completely blind and was able to travel to Florence from time to time to seek medical help. In 1635 his dialogue was published in Holland. He has also written a new book entitled Two New Sciences. This book explained and summarized practically all the studies he worked on throughout his life. When his book was finally published he was already blind and sick. Galileo Gallilei died on January 8, 1642 at the age of seventy-six after suffering from fever and mild heart palpitations. After Galileo's death, the ban on creating works that supported the Copernican system was lifted. From today onwards Galileo will be remembered and known as the Father of Modern Astronomy.
