Of course part of what made Galileo such a monumental amount was the fact that he was before his time and that he typically refused to conform to the accepted dogmas of modern-day modern culture. As he once place it, "Philosophy is written for the reason that great book which ever is placed before our eyes - After all the universe -- but we cannot understand it if we do not first learn the language and understanding the symbols, where it is written. This book is written in the numerical language, and the icons are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without whose make it is impossible to comprehend a single term of it." Galileo has been one of history's most famous and influential experts since his life and fatality over 350 years back, but it's relatively ironic that he might be most widely known for being put through the Inquisition and to make a comment that he probably never said. His insistence in defending Copernicus' heliocentric solar system led to charges of heresy, even though he attempted to square his heliocentric system with scripture and offered up St. Augustine's teachings as a partial protection. In private, however, Galileo was far more scathing, at one point writing in a private notice to fellow astronomer Johannes Kepler in 1610, "My dear Kepler, what will you say of the learned here, who...have steadfastly refused to cast a glance through the telescope? What shall we label of this? Shall we have fun, or shall we weep?" And relating to a star that refuses to perish, Galileo refused to recant; after being costed with heresy, sentenced to imprisonment, and having his books suspended, Galileo allegedly uttered, "Yet it moves", in a hardly veiled mention of the Earth moving around the sun. The storyline is one of the very most famous areas of Galileo's life, even though it's likely apocryphal. Galileo might not exactly have challenged authority as the star keeps, but he was undeterred by house arrest. He continued to write virtually all the way up until his fatality, and by the time his 77 years on the planet were finished, he previously greatly improved the use of telescopes, revolutionized our knowledge of the universe, made discoveries on Jupiter and Venus, posited the idea that physics was a report of mathematics, and much more. Legendary Experts: The Life and Legacy of Galileo Galilei profiles the life, legends, and legacy of the famous scientist while analyzing his job and contributions to science and technology.
