the irregular moon (Galileo‚ 2010). He took his eye to the heavens because he wanted to provide evidence of interpretation of the Bible. However‚ his sightings did not agree with the current Church view; instead he found evidence to support the Copernicus’ argument for a heliocentric universe. For example‚ the moon that Galileo observed was not smooth and unblemished‚ a traditional view in relation to the purity of Virgin Mary (Harris‚ 2010).

Physics began when man first started to study his surroundings. Early applications of physics include the invention of the wheel and of primitive weapons. The people who built Stone Henge had knowledge of physical mechanics in order to move the rocks and place them on top of each other. It was not until during the period of Greek culture that the first systematic treatment of physics started with the use of mechanics. Thales is often said to have been the first scientist‚ and the first Greek philosopher
