BRIEF BIOGRAPHY
Galileo Galilei, often referred to as the father of modern observational astronomy,
was a towering figure of the Scientific Revolution. Born on February 15, 1564, in Pisa, Italy, Galileo's contributions to physics, astronomy, and mathematics revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos and laid the foundation for modern science.
Galileo was the first of six children born to Vincenzo Galilei, a renowned musician, composer, and music theorist, and Giulia Ammannati. His early education took place at the Camaldolese monastery at Vallombrosa, where he studied Greek, Latin, religion, and music, but it was his insatiable curiosity about the natural world that propelled him towards the sciences.
In 1581, Galileo enrolled at the University of Pisa to study medicine, as his father wished, but his interests quickly shifted to mathematics and physics. Despite his father's objections, Galileo pursued his passion for science. He conducted experiments on pendulums, discovered the principle of isochronism, and questioned Aristotle's theories of motion.
After completing his studies, Galileo returned to Pisa as a lecturer in mathematics. He continued his experiments and observations, which led him to challenge the prevailing Aristotelian view of the universe. Galileo's experiments with falling bodies and projectiles laid the groundwork for his laws of motion and the foundation of modern physics.
In 1609, Galileo heard of the invention of the telescope and built his own version, greatly improving upon the design. With his telescope, he made groundbreaking observations of the night sky, discovering mountains and craters on the moon, four moons orbiting Jupiter, the phases of Venus, and sunspots. These discoveries provided compelling evidence for the heliocentric model proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus, which placed the sun at the center of the solar system.
Galileo's support for the Copernican model placed him in conflict with the Catholic Church, which adhered to the geocentric view of the universe. In 1616, the Church condemned heliocentrism as heretical, and Galileo was ordered not to teach or defend the Copernican theory. Despite this, Galileo continued his research and wrote his masterpiece, Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems,
which presented arguments for heliocentrism.
In 1632, Galileo's book was published, and its popularity spread throughout Europe. However, it brought him into direct conflict with the Church once again. In 1633, Galileo was summoned to Rome and tried by the Roman Inquisition for heresy.
