Fascinating episode. Galileo's father was exceptionally enlightened for the period. Rather than exert parental authority and force his son to go into trade or medicine - he recognized that Galileo's interest and 'genius' lay in other directions, and conceded ... even though he instructed his friend to not let Galileo know he approved. In any case, thank you for an excellent and informative Biographic.

Magnificent. Gravity is a property of SPACE ON BALANCE. It involves adherence or cohesion. So, BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE is fundamental ON BALANCE. Accordingly, ON BALANCE, TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE. Consider what is the man who IS standing on what is THE EARTH/ground (ON BALANCE).

Consider one AND three dimensional SPACE ON BALANCE. Consider what is the fourth dimension ON BALANCE. NOW, consider all of the following. Consider what is E=mc2.

Excellent Galileo's brief biography. Obs.: Discovery about acceleration and free fall was made during the imprisionment so that he never climbed the Pisa Tower to carry out the experiment. As he was in prison, he observed this phenomenon on inclined planes. The same ones we studied in high school.

On a side note...Hearing Galileo Galilee over and over is definitely an experience

Shout out to Galileo's father, Vincenzo‼️💯 SO OFTEN that we see a talented person held back, and kept from reaching their potential. He was a great man for realizing Galileo's potential for him, and allowing him to follow his passions. The rest of the world, and many generations of human beings since are eternally grateful for Galileo, as well as his Father for not forcing him to be a wool trader. We have been looking at the stars ever since, I wonder how much longer it would've taken to make these important discoveries‼️💯
