Without the Enlightenment, and without Galileo Galilei, so many major scientific discoveries would cease to exist. Galileo's innovations helped people such as Isaac Newton, Edwin Hubble, and Johann Nepenuk Maelzel. These people have many such great contributions to the world as a whole and without the influence and guidance of Galileo, these contributions would be nonexistent.

I was sure that the apparent changes belonged not to Jupiter, but to the observed stars, and I resolved to pursue this investigation with greater care and attention.” Not only was Galileo amazed by the sheer awesomeness of his discovery, but like a true scientist, he sought the reasonable answer to his questions. During this time, he also discovered the cycles of Venus and sunspots. He proved that the sun was not a clean, spotless, celestial body like the church had suggested. His findings are still in use today, Not unlike Voltaire, Galileo had faith in science and logic, and relied on himself, not the Church or God, to find solutions to life's
