invented the telescope." This is what most people say when
they think about Galileo. However, Galileo did not even
invent the telescope; he only made improvements to it so it
could be used for astronomy. Galileo did use it to make
many important discoveries about astronomy, though; many
of these discoveries helped to prove that the sun was the
center of the galaxy. Galileo also made many important
contributions to Physics; he discovered that the path of a
projectile was a parabola, that objects do not fall with
speeds proportional to their weight, and much more. For
these discoveries, Galileo is often referred to as the founder
of modern experimental science. Galileo Galilei was born in
Pisa, Italy on February 15, 1564. Until he was about 10
years old, Galileo lived in Pisa; in 1574 the family moved to
Florence where Galileo started his education at
Vallombroso, a nearby monastery. In 1581, Galileo went to
the University of Pisa to study medicine, the field his father
wanted him to peruse. While at the University of Pisa,
Galileo discovered his interest in Physics and Mathematics;
he switched his major from medicine to mathematics. In
1585, he decided to leave the university without a degr
