Let's Talk about Galileo Galilei

From the seventeenth century onward, Galileo has been seen by many as the “hero” of modern science. He is renowned for his discoveries: he was the first to report telescopic observations of the mountains on the moon, the moons of Jupiter, the phases of Venus, and the rings of Saturn. Galileo was a natural philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician who made fundamental contributions to the sciences of motion, astronomy, and strength of materials and to the development of the scientific method. He also made revolutionary telescopic discoveries, including the four largest moons of Jupiter. Galileo's observations strengthened his belief in Copernicus' theory that Earth and all other planets revolve around the Sun. Most people in Galileo's time believed that the Earth was the center of the universe and that the Sun and planets revolved around it.


During the 18 years he spent in Padua, he made his most important discoveries in mechanics, both experimental and theoretical: the acceleration of a falling body, the parabolic trajectory of a projectile and the resistance of solids to fracture. Galileo Galilei pioneered the experimental scientific method and was the first to use a refracting telescope to make important astronomical discoveries. He is often referred to as the “father of modern astronomy” and the “father of modern physics”. After hearing about the "Danish perspective glass" in 1609, Galileo constructed his own telescope. He subsequently demonstrated the telescope in Venice. His demonstration of the telescope earned him a lifetime lectureship. After his initial success, Galileo focused on refining the instrument.


I thought parabolic trajectory was the most important one. Projectile motion is a form of motion where an object moves in a bilaterally symmetrical, parabolic path. The path that the object follows is called its trajectory. Projectile motion only occurs when there is one force applied at the beginning on the trajectory, after which the only interference is from gravity. A trajectory describes the course of a measured variable over age or time. Investigators in epidemiology and other fields are often interested not only in the trajectory of variables over time, but also in how covariates may affect their shape. Studying projectile motion allows for full application of kinematics, various equations of kinematic-motion and vector geometry. A dropped ball will hit the ground at the same time as one flicked horizontally, because vertical motion is independent of horizontal motion. 


If I were to invent something for a better future, it would be a revolutionary energy storage system that overcomes the limitations of current renewable energy sources. The escalating concerns about climate change and environmental degradation have necessitated a shift towards renewable energy sources. This kind of system could help people when the nature was becoming danger. The system had self protection, this protection could protect people on their own. This protection is automatic, it don’t need people. And if the Earth really couldn’t let animals or human to live. This system will put all the animals and humans in a safe place that allows humans and animals to survive.



 Galileo was a great scientist, he had made a great contribution one science, math and on natural. Galileo's discoveries about the Moon, Jupiter's moons, Venus, and sunspots supported the idea that the Sun - not the Earth - was the center of the Universe, as was commonly believed at the time. Galileo's work laid the foundation for today's modern space probes and telescopes. Galileo was a natural philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician who made fundamental contributions to the sciences of motion, astronomy, and strength of materials and to the development of the scientific method. He also made revolutionary telescopic discoveries, including the four largest moons of Jupiter. If there were no Galileo, we would know so much less about outer space. If he didn’t have these discoveries, not only would our knowledge of astronomy be not nearly as complex, but it would have prevented us from achieving many of our accomplishments.
