Question

which was not an accomplishment of Galileo Galilei?

A. writing the Principe mathematica
B. creating a powerful telescope
C. discovering moons orbiting Jupiter
D. confirming that the earth revolves around the sun

Answer 1

Well, we can quickly eliminate B., C., and D., because Galileo did all those things. But Galileo did not write the Principia Mathematica because Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell wrote that book. So, the answer is A. writing the Principia Mathematica. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The correct answer is A) writing the Principe Mathematica.

Writing the Principe Mathematica was not an accomplishment of Galileo Galilei.

Galileo was one of the astronomers and scientists that were part of the scientific revolution. This was a period when science and knowledge overrode the obscure years of religious dogma in the Middle years of Europe. Galileo Galilei was a big part of the Enlightenment and scientific revolution due to his proposals about Earth and the Sun.

Italian astronomer Galileo (1564-1642) enhanced the use of the telescope, observed the sky and stated that the Sun did not orbit around the Earth as the Catholic Church said. For this kind of thinking, the church accused him of heresy on April 12, 1633.
