In the beginning there was light...or maybe not. Maybe it was the darkness disturbed only by a big bang. Maybe the beginning hasn't happened yet. Maybe there is nothing and this is all a grand illusion. Scientists, philosophers, and humans in general have been wondering, wondering these very things ever since they were able to think for themselves. Galileo, one of the most famous scientists in history, did not begin to ask himself these questions. He started by asking questions like, “Why do doctors need to know everything?” That's because a long time ago, before he was even remotely important, he was studying to be a doctor. However, considering his potential, it would not have been a total loss to the scientific community if he had become Doctor Galileo. The truth is that Galileo Galilei was one of the most intelligent and important scientists who ever questioned the paradox represented by our universe. The beginning - the big bang - for Galileo occurred on February 15, 1564 in Pisa, Italy. He was a small, stocky boy with tufts of red hair. He was the eldest of a middle-wealth aristocratic family. Growing up, he aspired to join the Church Order, but his parents hoped he would become a doctor. Honoring his parents' wishes, he was sent to study medicine at the University of Pisa, but soon discovered that he had a talent and passion for mathematics and philosophy. He soon abandoned medicine and decided to follow his two passions. However, in 1585, a shortage of money forced him to abandon the university and give mathematics lessons to students for four years. In 1589 he had a stroke of luck and was hired to lecture in Pisa where he remained happily for three years. In his... half of the paper ......lost his last work, "Dialogue Concerning Two New Sciences", (a book on mechanics) in Germany because he was no longer allowed to publish any of his works in his country of origin, Italy. In 1638 he became blind and four years later, on 8 January 1642, he died. He was seventy-seven years old. Although he is dead and gone, his legacy still lives on. His name is one of the most common in the scientific community. It will never truly and completely go away. The Big Bang is over, yes. His legacy, however, has not disappeared. We are part of the Big Bang: we were created by the Big Bang. As? Well, matter never disappears. It cannot be created nor destroyed. No, it just transforms.Works Cited
