salsa 2. General Overview vGalileo Galilei was born in Pisa, Italy
on February 15 1564 vRoman Catholics vHe is an astronomer,
astrologer, Italian physicist, and a philosopher who was associated
with the scientific revolution. vGalileo helped develop the
scientific method by using experimentation to test physical
theories. v He was also called and referred as the father of modern
astonomy, the father of of modern physics, and the father of
science. v Galileo Galilei died on January 8 1642. v 3. Economy and
Family His family Living under poverty Oldest of seven children His
father is a famous musician. When he was only 8 years old, his
family moved to Florence. His father was very strict about
education His father wants him to study medicine because more money
is involved in it. http://www.les4paintings.co.uk/4681.html 4.
Educat ion vAt age eleven, Galileo was sent off to study in a
Jesuit monastery. vAfter 4 years, he said he wanted to be a monk.
But this was not what his father had in mind so he withdrew him
from the monastery. vIn 1581, at the age of 17, he gave into his
fathers wishes and entered the University of Pisa and took medicine
just as what his father wanted him to do vIn 1585, he gave up his
courses in Medicine without completing his degree and pursued to
become a Mathematics Teacher. Then, he began teaching Math
privately in Florence 5. Galileos Inventions -1593: Thermometer
-1597: Compass -1609: Telescope -1641: Pendulum Clock 6. Telescope
Came up with telescope because he got the idea of improving
spyglass 3 power -> 10 power spyglass Wealth and honor Built
Telescope -> 30 power Could observe space Discoveries with
Telescope -Moon has mountains -4 moons orbiting Jupiter -Sunspots,
Lunar Mountains -Milky Way has billion stars 7. the four most
massive moons of Jupiter Sunspots Moon has mountains 8. -When
Galileo observed Jupiter he discovered its four largest Moons: Io,
Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. These moons are named the Medicean
stars Discovery of Jupiters orbiting moons around it prove that
Earth was not the only body with objects in orbit around it.
HELIOCENTRIC 9. Developed the first rough theory of inertia, which
suggested that only a change in motion required a cause; otherwise,
objects either stayed in motion or remained at rest. Inertia
Ultimately delivered the first well-defined formulas that accounted
for the normal motion of objects on moving earth If a uniform force
was applied to an object, it would move at an accelerated speed
rather than a constant speed Principle of inertia: body in motion
continues in motion forever unless deflected by an external force
10. Church Controversy -It is commonly believed that the Catholic
Church persecuted Galileo for abandoning the geocentric
(earth-at-the-center) view of the solar system for the heliocentric
(sun-at-the-center) view. -He was sentenced to imprisonment, but
that was later condemned to house arrest. -During this period,
personal interpretation was a sensitive subject. In the early
1600s, the Church had just been through the Reformation experience,
and one of the chief quarrels with Protestants was over individual
interpretation of the Bible. 11. Social Life of Galileo vProved
