Galileo Galilei is a really famous astronomer. He was born on February 15, 1564, Pisa, Italy and died on January 8, 1642 (age 77 years), Florence, Italy. His nationality is Italian. He is also an inventor. Galileo has been called the father of observational astronomy. Galileo studied speed and velocity, gravity and free fall, the principle of relativity, inertia, projectile motion and also worked in applied science and technology, describing the properties of the pendulum and "hydrostatic balances". He had contributed to the world a lot. Almost all his inventions are for space explorations. He became an inventor because of the problems that he met being an astronomer.
Three of Galileo’s most famous inventions are Celatone, micrometer, telescope. Let us first talk about the Celatone. The celatone was a device invented by Galileo Galilei to observe Jupiter's moons with the purpose of finding longitude on Earth. This device helped scientists understand more about the moon of the jupiter. The second invention is called the Micrometer. To measure with precision the distance of each satellite from the planet, Galileo designed a device known as a micrometer. This device is for measuring the distance of each satellite from the planet. This is also a really useful device for scientists. The third one is also the one that we are the most familiar with, the telescope. It is for looking at things that are far away.
I believe that the telescope is the most important. I have three reasons for that. First, I believe that the telescope is a device that everyone can use and is the most useful. For the other devices, it may be a great help to astronomers or scientistså, but for us, normal people, we will not use it so often. Who will want to calculate the distance of a ball in the space to another ball? But there may be people who want to look at the stars or the moon on a good night's weather night. The telescope brings people a lot of fun. It makes a lot of things possible for people. It made it possible for people to look at things in space clearly. Without the other two inventions, we may just not know so much of the space. But if we don’t have a telescope, people can’t look far and enjoy the beauty.
If I am an inventor, I will invent a machine that reminds people about what they need to do. Nowadays. There are already machines that remind people what to do, I want to make it better. I want to make a machine that will keep reminding you. Normal reminders only remind you one time and then they are finished with it. After the reminding, we may still forget things. I want to invent one that will keep reminding you until it senses you doing it. This will solve the problem that people are forgetting to bring things. The machine will also include a lot of sensors. The sensors can be cameras or voice sensors and stuff. It could make sense if you have done the thing. If a person wants the reminder to remind him to brush his teeth. First, the reminder will say, brush your teeth, brush your teeth. Faster, brush your teeth! After the person picks up the toothbrush, it may say, great, keep doing it, don’t put it down. The reminder may also time you, if you put on the toothbrush before the bell rings. The machine will say, keep brushing, don’t stop. It will keep reminding you until you brush till the time.
In conclusion, Galio is a really famous person. He contributed to society a lot. He had invented the celatone, the telescope and the micrometer. These three inventions are all very important to the world. Telescope is the one that I think is the most important. The telescope is able to get into everybody’s life while the other may only be helpful to scientists or astronomers. If I’m an inventor, I will invent a reminder that will keep reminding you until you do the thing. This could solve the problem that people are forgetting things even though the reminder already reminds you.
