Galileo Galilei

Galileo meant to be a unique scientist. Our present ideas for the movement, the speed and the acceleration sprung from his work. He also discovered the first precise clock using his telescope and generally his influence to physics was enormous. We all know that all this work provoked Church and finally he had to reject a part of it to save his life.

Nonetheless, he was an exceptional philosopher and he believed in Pythagoreans, who said that the universe could be described by mathematics. His mostly contributed the laws of mechanics, but here we will examine his beliefs about light.

Galileo thrived in Mechanics. However, in this chapter we are going his thoughts on light.
