Galileo Galilei: A Pioneer of Modern Science
Abstract
Galileo Galilei revolutionized scientific thought with his empirical approach to physics and astronomy. His support of heliocentrism, despite fierce opposition from the Church, marked a turning point in the history of science. This paper explores Galileo’s contributions, the socio-religious tensions of his time, and his enduring legacy.
