The achievmants of galileo

Galileo worked on many projects and invented many things that are still used everyday. One of his great inventions was the pendulum clock, “…Galileo's son Vincenzio, and Galileo's last student, Vincenzio Viviani, completed his design for a pendulum clock.” (Discovering Gravity, http://www.museum.vic.gov.au/scidiscovery/gravity/index.asp). After watching lights swing back and forth in the church he noticed they kept the same time swinging backwards and forwards. For this reason, there is a working clock today, that allows people to keep time every where. He also worked on many other projects, he “…built a thermoscope. He devised and constructed a g

Along with the title “Father of Modern Science” he is also given credit for being one of the founding forefathers of other areas, such as astronomy and even coming up with his own laws and theories. For example “Galileo Galilei's work is generally considered to be the foundation upon which the science of the Strength of Materials

Galileo ended up fathering a brand new branch of astronomy,” (Galileo Galilei: The Fickle Finger of Fate, http://astrology.about.com/library/weekly/aa022200a.htm) he still laid the foundation for it to come and made room for the more discoveries to come after him. Another thing he is given credit for is the scientific revolution. Many people believe that “the Scientific Revolution started with him, it was a period when reason overcame traditional thought.” (Galileo Galilei and how he started the scientific revolution, http://library.bigchalk.com/cgi bin/WebObjects/WOPrimo.woa/41/wa/getDoc?listid=52448...). Without his starting of this scientific revolution we might not have any of the great minds we have today, and we still might think the earth is the center of the universe. Even though the independence of motion and force was not put into laws by Galileo, “his writings on dynamics are everywhere suggestive of those laws, and his solutions of dynamical problems involve their recognition.” (Interesting Facts about Galileo, http://www.2020site.org/galileo/facts.html) This particular theory or law was not made a law by Galileo, his work is very deserving of the recognition for it. This shows how Galileo is given credit for other things besides being the “Father of Modern Science”.
