Salviati’s thesis in the excerpts of Galileo Galilei’s Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems‚ the second day‚ states that all motion is relative‚ and diurnal motion is simply relative to the earth‚ with an emphasis on Copernican heliocentrism. Salviati argues with propositions set forth by Simplicio and Sagredo concerning three questions‚ one in which the earth is movable or immovable‚ the second is whether there is a chance in making it movable‚ and lastly regarding what motion would occur

Church in Brecht’s The Life Of Galileo is so against. As for the church‚ the widespread acceptance of the Ptolemaic model is representative of their own influence. As such Brecht’s point transcends the historical example of the church’s restrictions‚ into a broader articulation of how we‚ in general revolt to perceived idealistic restrictions; not because of tangible detriment per se‚ but because we bundle our self image with our sense of freedoms.

He started the Scientific Revolution‚ figuring out the solar system and the basics of it. As he continued‚ more and more discoveries were found out by him‚ such as the laws of physics. Throughout all doubt‚ he continued and showed everyone that his theories were true. As Galileo searched and made discoveries‚ he made a theory about how the Earth orbits

While both Galileo and Descartes advocate a more mathematical natural philosophy‚ what they advocate greatly differ from one another. Overall‚ Galileo tries to relate objects in terms of proportions and uses more Archimedean principles like Archimedes’ work on floating bodies and his simple machines. Because of this‚ Galileo’s natural philosophy is mechanical. It is clear that Galileo strives to make natural philosophy a discipline of mathematics. He tries to make mathematics a more respectable science

In Galileo’s era‚ people had no concepts of the solar system but now anyone can look up live pictures of space with the touch of a button. Because of Galileo laying the building blocks for the fundamentals of solar exploration‚ he himself altered his era and the course of humanity. Galileo was just one little
