Galileo Galilei - 25Aug09

Galileo Galilei (15 February 1564 – 8 January 1642) 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."

伽利略·伽利萊(Galileo Galilei,1564年2月15日-1642年1月8日),意大利物理學家、數學家、天文學家及哲學家,科學革命中的重要人物。他的成就包括改進望遠鏡和其所帶來的天文觀測,以及支持哥白尼學說。伽利略被譽為「現代觀測天文學之父」、「現代物理學之父」、「科學之父」及「現代科學之父」。史蒂芬·霍金說過,「自然科學的誕生要歸功於伽利略,他這方面的功勞大概無人能及。」
