Lesson 32-2 Galileo reborn 伽利略的复生
He was the man who climbed the Leaning Tower of Pisa and dropped various
weights from the top, who rolled balls down inclined planes, and then generalized the
results of his many experiments into the famous law of free fall.
But a closer study of the evidence, supported by a deeper sense of the period, and
particularly by a new consciousness of the philosophical undercurrents in the scientific
revolution, has profoundly modified this view of Galileo. Today, although the old
Galileo lives on in many popular writings, among historians of science a new and more
sophisticated picture has emerged. At the same time our sympathy for Galileo's
opponents has grown somewhat. His telescopic observations are justly immortal; they
aroused great interest at the time, they had important theoretical consequences, and they
provided a striking demonstration of the potentialities hidden in instruments and
apparatus
