GALILEIGALILEO1564-1642More than any other scientist's, Galileo's work marks the transformation from Aristotelian to modern science.1 Though he made important contributions to a great variety of fields, such as observational astronomy, his work in mechanics above all provided the essential break-...
Galileo Galilei was the founder of modern physics. To assess such a claim requires that we make a giant leap of the imagination to transport us to a state of ignorance about even the most elementary principles of physics. Today, the simple laws of motion as defined byIsaac Newton, for exam...
Galileo was born in Pisa, Tuscany, on February 15, 1564, the oldest son of Vincenzo Galilei, a musician who made important contributions to the theory and practice of music and who may have performed some experiments with Galileo in 1588-89 on the relationship between pitch and the tension ...
This, Blåsjö says, is typical of the fellow from Galilei: He was not a pioneer of scientific method. He was not the father of modern science. He was not a heroic knight defeating dogmas and superstitions with the light of empirical truth…. Galileo was, first and foremost, a failed...

The article describes the development of a projectile motion which could predict whether a fly ball will clear the left-field wall at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts known as the Green Monster. It adopts mathematical ideas from Carl Friedrich Gauss and Galileo Galilei, particularly the ...
The correct answer had to wait until Galileo Galilei, the disciple of Benedetti, came on the scene. Although Galileo never used the term "principle of inertia," the fact that he applied this principle to his theory of uniform motions makes him its discoverer. The theory of free-fall is ...
