Galileo
Place of Birth and Brief overview of family life and upbringing

Galileo Galilei's father was Vincenzo Galilei while his mother was called Guilia Ammannati. Vincenzo was born in 1520 in Florence. He was a teacher of music and fine art enthusiast. He was a refined flute player (O'Connor & obertson, 2002). While he was studying music in Venice, Vincenzo carried out a string of experiments to support his musical theories. Galileo's mother Guilia was a native of Pescia. She married Vincenzo in 1563 and moved to the countryside near Pisa. Galileo was the first born in this family. He spent early part of his life in Pisa. When Galileo was hardly nine years old, his family returned to Florence which was his father's hometown (O'Connor & obertson, 2002). Galileo on the contrary decided to remain in Pisa for two years. At Pisa, he stayed with Muzio Tedaldi who was his mother's….

Galileo and Religion
From a theological perspective, it matters not at all whether the earth moves around the sun or vice versa, since the ible hardly deals with any of these scientific questions at all. Galileo was correct that the purpose of the ible was to teach certain religious and spiritual truths, not to provide scientific information on chemistry, physics or biology. Even if its authors had been aware of these subjects, they were basically irrelevant to the stories they intended to tell. In Genesis, for example, the ible asserts that God created the universe out of nothing in the very distant past, but never mentions whether the earth or other planets are moving. Among those few people in the ancient world who gave any thought to these matters, the views of Aristotle and Ptolemy had been officially accepted by the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages, and therefore it had….

Indeed, we can see here his own initial wonderment and the very simple excitement that he felt upon making a series of discoveries that, aside from being exciting, were clearly of exceptional and lasting scientific significance and would certainly earn Galileo a reputation as one of the most important astronomical observers of his time if not in all of history. However, we can also see how this initial awe quickly turned into logical questioning after Galileo underwent the observation of a great deal of further data culminating in the observed retrograde motion of the moons, which lead him to a state of extreme and earnest puzzlement about the state of the solar system.
Indeed, this state of puzzlement was understandably not long-lived, however, and Galileo again quite understandably brought to bear the not inconsiderable powers of his mind to the task of parsing the confusing string of data that his….

In this way, scientific investigations that attempt to explain such things as the movement of the planets and the stars are truly a service to religions; they attempt to provide a clearer understanding of God's wonder through his Creation. ith the study of the heavens, in particular, Galileo asserts that he is attempting to learn more about what Bible refers to as the place of man's salvation, and what is assumed in the popular conception of the cosmos to be the place of God's residence at the far reaches of the spheres. Understanding, according to Galileo, is automatically holy, just as real truth is divine.

I hope this finds you well and most unmoved on the point of Galileo Galilei's new conception of the motions of the heavenly bodies. Though his supposed observations, if indeed they have been confirmed….

There were, on the other hand, opponents who reason could not reach, and those were the men Galileo believed to be "hostile not so much toward the things in question as toward their discoverer" (pg 1). The motive of these particular men was unclear, other than that their motives were personal and passionate, and "quite different from the sacred intention of the holy Church," (pg 3) which is to speak truth for the salvation of souls. For whatever reason, these men who condemned Galileo, condemned his book, and pronounced him a heretic, did so without having read his book or listened to the statements or arguments he made, and these same men used to their advantage "passages taken from places in the Bible which they had failed to understand properly" (pg 1).

Concerned by the threat of opponents such as these, Galileo was hesitant to make his discoveries public, but Kepler….

Product Idea Description

Most technical innovations in any field have been combinations or amalgams of software and hardware applications that were never meant to be used together. However, they have nevertheless come into existence because someone decided to marry up these unimagined elements in combination with each other.

To midwife these projects to full fruition, startup money is needed. As usual, the military is the usual maternity ward for such applications and often requires mission specific applications for certain situations. Telematics is certainly no exception to this and such applications have increasingly found usage in the war on terror to pierce the classical "fog of war." Like the American GPS system, this has certainly been the case for telematics operations in the NATO European environment that would operate with the Galileo GNSS system. The handmaiden of our ed Force Tracking Telematics application in this proposal will be the Google capable Android Smart….

Galileo: On easoning
"In question of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual" (GALILEO).

Galileo was a noted mathematician, astronomer, physicist, and philosopher (Drake 1995), who many regard as the "father of modern science" (edondi 1987). In his lifetime, Galileo was a somewhat controversial figure; falling out of favor with pope Urban VIII and the Jesuits for his work, "Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems" (Hawking 2009). He was one of the first to establish that mathematics and nature were interrelated; ignoring authorities and traditional thought regarding the separation of philosophy and science and religion.

With regard to the aforementioned quote, Galileo reaffirmed his oppositional and frequently controversial positioning with respect to those in authority. He was not a man prone to following conventional tides, untested and unregulated. The implications of his statement indicate that just because an authority determines it to be….

However, five months after the book was published, Galileo was ordered to ome to appear before the Inquisition. In reviewing Galileo's old file, the Inquisition had uncovered the memorandum of 1616, that ordered Galileo to never teach the Copernican system ever again.

This discovery made it appear that Galileo had concealed the information from the Pope, when he obtained permission to write his book, and in the process, his old friend became his foe. and, the Pope ordered him to stand trial. Despite producing an affidavit from Cardinal Bellarmine, attesting that Galileo had only been admonished, Galileo was sentenced to life in prison and his book, Dialogue, was ordered to be burned.

Conclusion:

In the end, Galileo forever changed the sciences of astronomy, physics and mathematics. Despite the attempts by the Church to silence his revolutionary work, Galileo continued.

His work, was evaluated and validated by observers across Europe, in England, German and France.….

Galileo Galilei was an Italian mathematician, who would apply his mathematics to work in astronomy, physics of kinematics, and strength of material. Today he is known as the founder of modern mechanics and physics. orn in February of 1564, he spent his childhood in Pisa. His father was a rather famous musician who encouraged him to become a medical doctor, and supported Galileo's education at the University of Pisa, which began in 1581. Galileo found, however, that his talent was in mathematics, not in medicine, and he opted to leave the university, but did pursue a career in math education on his own, studying the work of Euclid and Archimedes. He would vastly improve the concepts and results in hydrostatics, and then be appointed professor of mathematics first at the University of Pisa, and then at the University of Padua. While teaching there, he would do mathematical work relating to….

82) because he had to find a bridge from the old paradigm to the new one. He argued that science could restore man to the dominion he enjoyed before the "Fall" (caused by ignorance). Some scholars argue that Bacon never saw any environmental change as undesirable and viewed all science as good.
Rene Descartes also profoundly influenced the modern idea of nature. He argued that mind and matter are distinct and separate from each other, "and that the natural world is a machine" (p. 86). Like Bacon he believed that science would create a new world and triumph over nature. All reality would be explained through the use of scientific method, and social benefits would be a result because superstition and irrationality would be gone. The scientific method would make humans "the masters and possessors of nature" (p. 87). Knowledge was not in what others thought, or "what we ourselves….

Much unlike more complex conceptions of physics, this theory can be proven by students and amateurs even in modern day classrooms.
One of the ways Galileo confirmed his conception of naturally accelerated movement was through experimentation using a ramp with a large degree slope. Galileo measured the speed which the ball would travel based on the measurement of how many meters that ball had traveled. This experiment can be repeated even today using the same basic tools and levels of measurement. If a ball has been dropping for two seconds, it will be traveling at a rate of four meters per second. As it reaches three meters, it will be traveling at a rate of six meters per second, and so on. Current findings should still portray Galileo's original findings. These findings can also be portrayed using a linear graph with the slope steadily increasing by double the amount of….

Louis Althusser (1918-90) was one of the foremost Marxist theorists in the Western world, and advocated an especially orthodox version of Marxism that was always close to the Communist Party line. He regarded ertolt recht as one of the great Marxist-revolutionary playwrights of the 20th Century, who used the theater to oppose the capitalist system and bourgeois ideology. In the 2ns section, the paper will examine how Althusser insisted on a 'straight' version of Marxism, uncontaminated by middle class idealism, pragmatism or humanism and centered on class struggle. Like recht, he imagined that the education system, cultural life, the theater and the arts would always be one major arena of revolutionary struggle against the dominant ideology of capitalism. The 3rd section will consider Althusser's views on recht as a revolutionary playwright, and how classical and dramatic types of theater merely uphold the dominant ideologies of society or resolved social conflicts….

As indicated on the Universalteacher.org Web site: "Epic theatre is historical: the audience is continually reminded that epic theatre gives a report of events." Encouraging the audience to remain detached and separate from the narrative, strange things must be put in place to establish and preserve distancing. V-effekt as defined previously was Brecht's way of doing this. He provides an example of V-effekt through the situation of a child whose mother remarries, thus seeing her as a wife not just a mother. An example from "Life of Galileo is the long and profound speech by the unheroic protagonist which is then followed by the bathetic observation: "Now I must eat." (Brecht 2008, 64)

Galileo as shown through Brecht, is an anti-hero through his cowardice behavior. He fears the instruments of torture that come with bravery. He fails the role of hero through his refusal and lack of courage to prove himself….

They must occupy themselves with inventing new ways to legally persecute people as they cannot be involved in any real pursuit of knowledge.
Things changed drastically with the Renaissance, though not with the speed that many men would have appreciated. Galileo Galilei butted heads with the Catholic Church many times in his life, eventually recanting much of what he had provocatively (and rightly) claimed to be true and ending his life under house arrest. He at times tried to couch his more controversial discoveries in language more pleasing to the Church, but apparently he was not proficient enough at disguising it. His "Letter to Castelli" is a prime example of the shift that Western thought was taking during the Renaissance: "the Holy Scriptures in many places not only admit but actually require a different explanation for what seems to be the literal one, it seems to me that they ought….
