Extractions: Galileo Galilei "Pure logical thinking cannot yield us any knowledge of the empirical world; all knowledge of reality starts from experience and ends in it. 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." Albert Einstein (1879-1955) Galileo’s career was a major turning point in science. "If science has a beginning date", says Prof. Fred L. Wilson, "it must be 1632 when the Italian astronomer and physicist Galileo Galilei, published his book, Dialogue on the Two Systems of the World. All the previous work, all the observations, theory, and fighting against dogmatic concepts were brought together by Galileo." Galileo Galilei is always known by his first name. He owed both his first and his last name to an illustrious ancestor, Galileo Bonaiuti, an eminent physician and magistrate. The family name was changed to Galilei in honor of this illustrious ancestor in the middle of the fifteenth century. of history of sciences in florence Until he was 11, Galileo was educated privately at home. In 1574 he was sent to the monastery at Vallombroso for more formal education. The monastery was situated in the mountains 30 kilometers east of Florence. Galileo liked the place and the atmosphere in the monastery so much that he joined the order as a novice. However, his father brought him back. Galileo must have been influenced by his father, who did not accept anything unquestioned. To quote his father: "It appears to me those who rely simply on the weight of authority to prove any assertion without searching out the arguments to support it, act absurdly. I wish to question freely and to answer freely without any sort of adulation..."

Extractions: Galileo brings the Italian senators to the tower of Basilica of Saint Mark's, his purpose not yet revealed. They tirelessly climb the many white-gray steps to the round roof. Out of one of the square windows, the senators look through Galileo's improved telescope. Ships arriving in Italy's harbor two hours later are seen clearer than ever. The faces of Florence residents are seen smiling, frowning, and picking their nose. Galileo knows by the senators' amazed expressions that he has just done something incredible. And he had. He really had. Born as Galileo Galilei, on February 15, 1564 in Pisa, Italy, Galileo invented even as a child. When he was a child, he used items found around his home and put them together to make small mechanical toys. I think that this influenced his later life, because this was like practice for inventing. All of these toys worked, and he probably learned to keep at it, because he must have made mistakes. Inventing is similar to this, because you have try out many designs before any of your inventions can work. As a 10-year-old, he attended school at Vallembrosa. He got good grades, and as he grew up, his father, Vincenzio Galilei, decided Galileo should become a doctor. Galileo did not want to do this, but did as he was told. In 1581, Galileo entered the University of Pisa. However, his study of medicine was not interesting to him, and his grades were not good. He began to study mathematics instead. Like his father, Galileo liked mathematics, and preferred it to medicine.

Extractions: Art, Optics and History New Light on the Hockney Thesis Michael John Gorman Program in Science, Technology and Society, Stanford University mgorman@stanford.edu Draft Revised April 26, 2002 According to Hockneys chronology, around the end of the sixteenth century, painters began to use refractive lenses instead of concave mirrors to project their tracing images. Unlike concave mirrors, convex refractive lenses have the property of reversing left and right, in addition to inverting the image. Hockney points to a sudden increase in the number of left-handed drinkers in paintings executed after the last decade of the 1590s as conspicuous evidence of the shift from mirror to lens, citing paintings by Caravaggio as marking the point of transition from reflection to refraction (convex lenses, unlike concave mirrors, switch left and right) (Hockney, 2001, p. 118) Visual evidence is essential to Hockneys argument. Playfully, his book is prefaced by a forged quotation from art historian Roberto Longhi: Paintings are primary documents. Archival documents can be faked; critical judgements, not. Perhaps unsurprisingly, not all of Hockneys revelations have embraced enthusiastically by the scholarly community. At the colloquium organized by Lawrence Weschler at the New York Humanities Center in December, a number of vociferous critics attacked Hockneys thesis. Art historians noted that Hockney did not give adequate credit to the significant corpus of previous scholarly work on the use of optical devices including the camera obscura by artists. However, perhaps the most scathing criticisms came not from the historians but from two optical scientists invited to the colloquium, David Stork of Stanford University and Christopher W. Tyler of the Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute (Stork, 2002; Tyler, 2002)

Extractions: Last edited Feb. 15, 2000. cbc INTRODUCTION Writing to his faithful friend Elia Diodati, Galileo speaks of the "New Sciences" which he had in mind to print as being "superior to everything else of mine hitherto published"; elsewhere he says "they contain results which I consider the most important of all my studies"; and this opinion which he expressed concerning his own work has been confirmed by posterity: the "New Sciences" are, indeed, the masterpiece of Galileo who at the time when he made the above remarks had spent upon them more than thirty laborious years. One who wishes to trace the history of this remarkable work will find that the great philosopher laid its foundations during the eighteen best years of his life those which he spent at Padua. As we learn from his last scholar, Vincenzio Viviani, the numerous results at which Galileo had arrived while in this city, awakened intense admiration in the friends who had witnessed various experiments by means of which he was accustomed to investigate interesting questions in physics. Fra Paolo Sarpi exclaimed: To give us the Science of Motion, God and Nature have joined hands and created the intellect of Galileo. And when the "New Sciences" came from the press one of his foremost pupils, Paolo Aproino, wrote that the volume contained much which he had "already heard from his own lips" during student days at Padua. Limiting ourselves to only the more important documents which might be cited in support of our statement, it will suffice to mention the letter, written to Guidobaldo del Monte on the 29th of November, 1602, concerning the descent of heavy bodies

Atiyah (1929-) devotes quite some lines to the interrelations between science and military. He emphasizes that "the atomic bomb was unique in many respects, particularly in the speed with which a discovery in fundamental physics was put to use... No longer would scientists, conducting pure research for its own sake, be ignored on the grounds that their work was not relevant to the real world. The ivory tower was no longer a sanctuary..." He expresses his delight about "the large number of British scientists who publicly refused to have anything to do with the infamous 'Star Wars' research of the Reagan era. The British Government of the time encouraged our scientists to apply for American funds for this purpose, but many refused because they believed the whole project was scientifically doubtful, economically wasteful and politically destabilising."

Extractions: In physics Galileo is remembered for discovering the laws of failing bodies and motions of projectiles; in astronomy he is known for pioneering telescopic observation and, through this, discovering sunspots, the irregular surface of the Moon, the satellites of Jupiter, and the phases of Venus. Most of all, he is remembered for championing Copernicus' Sun-centred universe and prompting the split that freed scientific knowledge from the restrictions of spiritual belief. Imprisoned in old-age for repeatedly publishing his views, his name has become immortalised as an emblem of resistance against the oppression of Truth. Twenty-one years before the birth of Galileo, Copernicus published his theory of a Sun-centred universe, the first copy being delivered to him just hours before he died. The initial reaction was lame. Few scholars took the trouble to read it and those who did treated it as just another hypothesis. Faith and reason had indistinguishable boundaries at this time, with Aristotelian principles firmly established as the harmonious solution to planetary motion and theological beliefs. The Ptolemaic system, which saw the Earth as stationary at the centre of the universe, had never been seriously challenged. The backdrop of stars was perceived as representing God in its permanence and immutability; only the sublunar sphere encircling the earth was subject to change and decay.

Extractions: Galileo's youth was passed in the atmosphere of late Renaissance Tuscany and Venice, but by his new discoveries in astronomy and physics (all made after the age of 40) he became one of the creators of 'the new philosophy' which is recognizably a part of modern science. Both his discoveries and his scientific method greatly influenced the development of the scientific revolution. Many of the problems then solved had first been posed by Galileo. His trial made him a hero of science in the struggle against authority. Please send your comments , sign our guestbook and send a postcard

Extractions: by Michael R. Matthews, Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers, New York, 2000, pp.xxviii +439, ISBN0-306-45880-2 (pbk); Price $ 39 US. Michael Matthews, foundation editor of the journal, Science and Education, and author/editor of many previous books, has produced a book that should be read by every practising physicist. This book deals not only with the history of time, particularly as it relates to Physics, but also the practice of Physics. It also addresses the way in which students should be introduced to Physics. It is essential to separate the learning of the matter of Physics from an understanding of the discipline. Firstly, we should consider a statement of John Dewey that is as relevant today as when Dewey enunciated it in 1910: "Science has been taught too much as an accumulation of readymade material with which students are to be made familiar, not enough as a method of thinking, an attitude of mind, after the pattern of which mental habits are to be transformed." For a modern example, Paul Hewitt, the author of several college and high school textbooks including Conceptual Physics (HarperCollins) states: students can learn to solve physics problems not all of them or even most of them, but enough to pass the course without the faintest gut feeling for the concepts that underlie them. I know this is true, because up to the time that I got my BS in Physics, I was one of them, (Hewitt, P. (1995), Lessons from Lily on the introductory course, Physics Today, (September) 85-86).
