Galileo was a professor in mathematics‚ and pioneered observation of nature with long-lasting implications for the study of physics. Correspondingly‚ Galileo constructed a telescope and supported the Copernican theory‚ which supports

The purpose of this lab was to determine if a there is a change in mass when a gas is produced and determine if gas has mass. To conduct this experiment‚ the group must be careful not to let the Alka-Seltzer tablet get wet before the bottle is closed by wiping the lip of the bottle and the cap so it remains dry‚ or risk gas escaping into the air and not being captured by the bottle. Also‚ the group must be sure to close the bottle tightly with the cap‚ because gas may escape this way as well. During

Galileo Galilei on Trial Galileo was born on Feb 15‚ 1564 in Pisa (Machamer). He was born when there was no such thing as ‘science’‚ yet by the time he died science was well on its way to becoming a discipline and its concepts and method a whole philosophical systems (Machamer).

Apart from the drama of science standing up to religion depicted as some sort of bully‚ I liked
