How Did Galileo Contribute To The World

Galileo was contributed a lot to us today because he had major discoveries in math, astronomy, physics and engineering. Even though he had an unideal childhood, Galileo went to college at the University of Pisa. He also began teaching at the age of 17. In 1568 he invented the hydrostatic balance. this is used to measure the “specific gravity” of a gemstone. This is something that people use today in gemology. He also gave private math lessons to children in florence and his college. In 1593, Galileo invents a water pump, which is still used when working with horses. In 1595 he creates a theory of tides based on the moon and compass based on the position of Earth. These have helped people survive for hundreds of years and our still used. Another thing he discovered was the positions of Jupiter’s satellites. Galileo was someone who made huge discoveries about the world, and without that, life would be so much different.
Galileo was born in 1526, the oldest of six children in his family. Only three of the children survived infancy. His father was a retired musician and his mom was a music theorist who studied the possibilities of music. They were a very unwealthy family who lived in Pisa Italy for a few years and then moved to Florence. Galileo studied at the university of Pisa at the age of 17, for the “arts” because his parents were pushing him to become a doctor of medicine. He began teaching math at the university of Padua a few years later. In 1585, Galileo returns to Florence without a degree, yet still determine to
