He has suspected both the Aristotle stream as well as the Bible in the middle ages.
He had been famous of his works on astronomy. He has learned the invention of the telescope in the Netherlands in 1609 and the following year he developed a superior one. Made observations those no one has made before. He has discoverd the surface of the moon, the spots of the sun and the moons of Jupiter.
When 22 Years old, published the book "The Little Balance"
Falling Bodies was one of the charming of his works. In those times, Experimental conditions couldn't allow to theorise, however Galileo theorised that objects such as leaves, fall to the ground slower as the reason of its broad surface and the friction of the air. Much later, vacuum experiments would be confirming him.
In contrast to what Vatican said, he has accepted the heliocentric theory of the universe. His view has made all the arguments of the church upside down. Because in the the holy book , Joshua ordered the sun not to move. The Vatican had judjed Galileo for 2 times. In 1614 he has been banned and forbidden not to teach to anyone. In 1632 the Inquisition had judged him because of a book he wrote and was sentenced to death by execution. Galileo said "I did not see , I did not hear, and I do not know," and he has chosen the life then his sentence turned into a house arrest.
Galileo made a miracle effect. Persuasiveness of the church started to be questioned. Galileo had became a symbol of the clash of science and religion in history.
Galileo has been defined as the ancestor of "modern observational astronomy, "modern physics," "modern science ". According to Stephen Hawking, Galileo, has probably contributed more than anyone else to the birth of modern science.
