A collection of quotes by Galileo Galilei, quoted in M Kli.

Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), an Italian mathematician, astronomer, and physicist, made significant contributions to science. Regarded as the "father of modern physics" and the "father of observational astronomy," Galileo played a crucial role in the scientific revolution. He improved the telescope, discovered the law of falling bodies, and formulated the principle of inertia. Galileo's steadfast support of Copernican heliocentrism challenged prevailing views of the time and brought him into conflict with the Catholic Church. Despite facing persecution, his empirical approach laid the foundations for the scientific method and forever changed our understanding of the cosmos.
