Commonly known as Galileo, was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer and philosopher who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. His achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations, and support for Copernicanism. Galileo has been called the "father of modern observational astronomy", the "father of modern physics", the "father of science", and "the Father of Modern Science". Stephen Hawking says, "Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science."
Illustrated below are two of Gallileo's greatest achivement the phases of venus this proved that planets rotated around the sun, and his advanced improvement of the telescope.
Galileo for me was the most controversial Genious for me his finding questioned the christian faith itself.
