Let's Talk about Galileo Galilei

Galileo was born in February 1564 in Pisa and was the oldest sibling of six.  When Galileo was 20 years old his father really wanted him to be a doctor since doctors earned lots of money. But Galileo decided he wanted to be a mathematician since the only subject he was really good at was math. Even though Galileo’s father was disappointed he agreed. But after a while Galileo needed to earn money so he decided he was going to experience different things. His main goal was to create something like an invention but he had to find a way in order to earn more money. It took many and many tries but after a long time Galileo finally created a telescope which obviously is very useful since using a telescope he would be able to look at the stars. As technology improved Galileo improved his project more and more.


Most people might be wondering what inventions made Galileo so famous? Well the first invention Galileo made was a telescope. If you didn’t know what a telescope means, the telescop  is basically something that we use at night to see different stars and sometimes even planets like Jupiter or mars. The purpose of a telescope was so people and even scientists could see more clearly things that are very different. One fun fact is that Galileo actually discovered that the moon was bumpy thanks to his very own invention. Secondly,Galileo invented a thermoscope. Now thermoscopes were used to see the temperature of things which was quite fascinating. Back then the purpose of it was to measure temperature and see how hot or cold things were. Lastly he created an instrument called Sector which was used to help humans calculate big digits.


My favorite invention was the telescope since in my opinion it would be the most useful after all my observations. Firstly, unlike any other inventions made, a telescope has its very own unique characteristics. Instead of a calculator, it can let you study planets and admire the stars at the same time which I think is very unique and cool as probably everyone likes to admire the stars above their heads since it makes most people feel like they're in a dream with amazing looking stars. Not only all of that, but as I had mentioned before telescope have been used to discover things people didn’t know about like how Galileo found out that the moon was actually bumpy instead of flat since before like a long long time, people didn’t know about all of these information since there was not a lot of technology back then in the days.


If I could invent anything in the world for all humans I would invent a money machine gun but obviously some people will think that it will make people more lazy, well I think this machine will help people and the government to become more rich and not only will it make people's lives easier but think about this if you have money it would make scientists find more cure for all the diseases which would be a benefit for everyone in my opinion since many people in the world are in bad conditions and are suffering financially. Now this machine would also make people’s life easier and let people that have no jobs not suffer and use the money to pay all the rent while they still need to find a job or else this machine will just make humans greedy and more selfish.


Galileo was born in February 1564 in Pisa and was the oldest sibling of six. Then at the age of twenty, Galileo wanted to be a mathematician but then decided to earn more money so he started to try and invent stuff. After quite a while he finally became successful from inventing the telescope and many other things.Most people might be wondering what inventions made Galileo so famous?  Well Galileo was famous for inventing the telescope, the thermoscope, and last but not least the  Sector .My favorite invention was the telescope since in my opinion it would be the most useful after all my observations. If I could invent anything in the world for all humans I would invent a money machine gun to help people in need of money.
