Galileo Galilei "founder of modern experimental information"     Galileo Galilei was one of the most remarkable scientists ever. Hediscovered many impudent ideas and theories and introduced them to mankind. Galileohelped society as an Italian astronomer and physicist, exclusively how did he be to besuch a great and well-known scientist? It took hard relieve oneself and patience....     Galileo was born during the renaissance in Pisa, Italy on February 15,1564. He was raised by his mom, Giulia Ammanati, and his dad, Vincenzo Galilei.His family had enough money for school, but they were not rich.

In 1581, his father sent him to the University of Pisa because hethought his son should be a doctor. For four years, he examine medicine and thedifferent theories of the scientist Aristotle. He was not interested inmedicine, but soon he b ecame interested in mathematics. In 1585, he confident(p) hisfather to let him leave the school without a degree.     Galileo was a math tutor for the next four years in Florence. He worn-out(a)a lot of the four years studying the scientific thoughts and philosophies ofAristotle. He also invented an instrument that could find the gravity ofobjects. This instrument, called a hydrostatic balance, was utilise by weighingthe objects in water.     Galileo returned to Pisa in 1589 and became a professor in math. Hetaught courses in astronomy at the University of Pisa, found on Ptolemys guessthat the sun and all of the planets move around the earth. Teaching thesecourses, he became more than understanding of astronomy.     In 1592, the University of Padua gave him a professorship in math. Hestayed at that school for eighteen years. He learned and believed NicolausCopernicuss theory that all of the planets move around the sun, made amechanical tool called a sector, explained the tides based on Copernican theoryof motion of earth, found that the Milky elan was made up of many stars, and toldpeople that machines cannot create power, they can precisely change it.
