Galileo galilei

I was born February 15, 1564 and died January 8, 1642. I was born in Pisa, Italy. I became a philosopher, astronomer.

I just invented the ballpoint pen, I hope it'll be useful in the future

“Propositions arrived at by purely logical means are completely empty as regards reality. Because Galileo saw this, and particularly because he drummed it into the scientific world, he is the father of modern physics—indeed, of modern science altogether.” Thanks Einstein

“In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.”

[Galileo galilei @Astro_Galileo]

“Thought is the most pleasing ability granted to human kind.”

Looks like I got a fan, apparently I'm Albert Einstein's favorite scientist.

who else was named “the father of observational astronomy,” “the father of modern physics” and “the father of modern science?”

After 8 years I can finally publish my book called "The Starry Messenger," "Letter to the Grand Duchess Christina," "The Assayer," and "Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems" but sadly I can't see my success for I am now blind and very ill.

just spent a day being an art teacher at Italian city of Florence, and just to let you know, a waste of my time.

just discovered 4 moon next to Jupiter, one of them is even named after me, yeaaaa

[Galileo galilei @Astro_Galileo]

I didn't get an award but one of Jupiter's moons, a telescope, pendulum, a method, spacecraft, and a high school were all named after me, totally worth the work.

[Galileo galilei @Astro_Galileo]

Kinda depressed, still don't have an award for what I contributed to astronomy.

@niccoptill1543 Sucks for you, I'm the oldest child and it feels good knowing more things than my siblings

[Galileo galilei @Astro_Galileo]

@EdwinHu70116999 how was it? how far did you see through it?

[Galileo galilei @Astro_Galileo]

@niccoptill1543 Wow, congrats on being famous without a degree of any kind

Just thought of this in 5 minutes: "You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself" and "Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe."
