Galileo Galilei , one of the first modern scientists, was born in Pisa, Italy, in 1564. About<br />
twenty years later he attended the University of Pisa. At first he studied philosophy, but later he<br />
studied mathematics and astronomy. He was interested in the way the earth and other planets<br />
move around the sun. He made the telescope, which made far-away things look larger and<br />
easier to examine. He also started the new way of working in science. Before Galileo; scientists<br />
did not do experiments. They just guessed about how something happened. Galileo was<br />
different. He did not just make guesses. He did experiments and watched to see what happened.<br />
Galileo was famous for his study of how things fall. He was the first person to do<br />
experiments about this problem. Before, people thought that heavy things always fell faster<br />
than light things. He found out that this was not true. He took a heavy ball and a light ball and<br />
he dropped them both from a high place. They fell at the same speed. This meant that weight is<br />
not important. This is the law of failing bodies. it is an important law for understanding our<br />
world.<br />
The life of the scientist was not always easy in the 1500s. For example, Galileo got into<br />
trouble because of his scientific ideas. His ideas were not the same as the religious ideas at the<br />
time. Many religious people did not agree with him. During his whole life he had to worry<br />
<br />
about this. He even went to -prison for a while. But no one could stop him from thinking: He<br />
continued to look for scientific answers to his questions about the world.<br />
