Galileo Galilei Biography

This late breaking news has just come in. Galileo Galilei has been named one of the smartest men alive. Certain theories he has made has been a great success to our society. He has now invented what he has called a thermometer. This thermometer is used to check temperature. He has also invented what is also called a compass, which is used to locate directions to a certain point. He has made many other great accomplishments. Now we give his life story and how it all began.

Galileo Galilei was born February 15, 1564. He was born near Pisa, Italy and died in Florence, Italy. Galileo was an Italian astronomer. He studied in the field of astronomy. He was also a mathematician. He would give private tutoring lessons from 1885-1889. Plus in 1592 he obtained the chair of mathematics at the University of Puda in the Venetian Republic where he remained until 1610. Galileo had three children by a lady named Marina Gamba. He had two daughters and one son. He sent both of his daughters to a convent because he could not provide a good education for his young daughters. He later managed to have his only son get a good education. In 1609 Galileo detected with his self made telescope four satellites and a moon around Jupiter. In that year he was appointed Chief mathematician of the university and the Philosopher to the Duke of Tuscany. Then in 1621 Galileo was elected Council of the Academe Fiorentino. Galileo invented several things. He invented a hydrostatic balance in 1608. In 1593 he invented the horse driven water pump. He also made a geometric and military compass in 1597. And in 1606 invented the thermometer. His last invention was the pengelium clocks or grandfather clocks in 1641. Galileo had five theories. The first theory was the Principal of Inertia. The next one was Law of Falling Bodies. The following Theory is the path of a projectile is a parabola. Then subsequently came the simple thermometer theory. There upon came the last law of Equilibrium. Galileo made some contributions to science. He invented the thermometer, which aids us in our everyday lives. Now we can check our temperatures to see if we are sick. Thanks to him we have information about the solar system and it's planets. Galileo was different from the scientists at that time because he stood up for what he believed in. He was the only one who believed in his own ideas. Who would have known that such a crazy man would end up like that.
