đ Who the f*ck is Galileo?
There are a few absurdly famous people in history that I know nothing about.
Here are some:
But weâre missing one unknown genius: Galileo.
Heâs a big deal â especially in the world of science.
But donât take my word, take Einsteinâs:
No, Einstein, the other thingâŚ
Nice.
But to get that sweet title, what did Galileo actually do?
Hereâs the story.
Galileo Galilei is born in 1564âŚ
âŚPisa, Italy.
Now Galileoâs dad wants him to be a doctor.
No seriously this is what doctors looked like then.
Like kinky birds with top hats.
Carrying on.
Ya. Galileoâs a babyâŚa big baby.
So his dad tries again 17 years later.
Then his dad dies.
(Side note: Galileoâs dad dies thinking his sonâs a loser â not the future father of modern science đĽ˛)
So anywayâŚ.Galileo studies math.
But then he hears of this funky new Dutch technology â the telescope.
Ya, Galileo points his telescope to the heavens.
And discovers cool space things:
And one more thingâŚ
Thatâs the Pope.
And he likes the universe the old way â with the Earth at the center.
So he doesnât take the news wellâŚ
Like I said, he doesnât take it well.
So much so that he puts Galileo in adult timeout â house arrestâŚfor life.
Bummer.
But at home Galileo writes a heliocentric book dissing the Pope â which goes viral.
So soon after, the Catholic Church officially admits that the sun is the center of our solar system.
Way to be progressive, religion!
Oh wait. My bad. By âsoonâ I meant 359 years afterâŚin 1992.
So I guess the lesson is:
Crush Ass,
Dylan & Henry đ
