Galileo’s ideas‚ and continued to improve on Galileo’s ideas. Galileo therefore influenced Newton by leaving theories on the differences between the mysteries of color‚ the center of the universe‚ and the motions of gravity.

pendulum was the determining factor for the period of the swing. Introduction In 1581‚ Galileo began studying at the University of Pisa‚ where his father hoped he would study medicine. While at the University of Pisa‚ Galileo began his study of the pendulum while‚ according to legend‚ he watched a suspended lamp swing back and forth in the cathedral of Pisa.
