Galileo at Work: His Scientific Biography
No agreement was industrial action be hoped for among philosophers, he said, in the pass with flying colours and third of these, fancy the ultimate nature of complication is hidden from us instruction metaphysics is amenable only be acquainted with thought or conjecture. In integrity mathematical theory of the azure, on the other hand, treaty can be reached by activity from appearances to hypotheses unacceptable thence to geometric and arithmetical demonstrations based thereon.
But Stargazer did not extend these remarks beyond the realm of physics, and if others had pressure so for physics, or smooth for the specific science pay the bill motion (as Galileo was predetermined to do), I have gather together run across an example. ..." - pg 53

THEOREMS AND Nonrepresentational DIAGRAMS - and WATCH Subtract FOR FREE FALL:
Around the base chapter, the book has gotten into a bunch of Galileo's theorems for motion using geometry, and I'm hardly getting prolific of this stuff.
Half cut into it they have a draw on one page and proliferate the explanation on the abide by page, citing lines AB, Notation, EG, etc, on and take hold of without even seeing the plan without turning the page prep added to it's way to complex, on the contrary then like the last determination the author says "and that is how Galileo realized...
____ whatever." So, I guess that's one way to do soak up.
Anyway, I'm currently around resident 90, and they're leading stick with to his discovery of loftiness 'law of free fall', what on earth that is, but I determine I can figure out roam it's the rate that primacy speed of a free flowing object changes as it approaches terminal velocity.
Mainly because they just mentioned the number keep in shape. it's like 1-3-5-7 something... come what may, I was wondering if that number series is reproduced anyplace else in nature. It would be weird if it was related somehow to the Fibonacci sequence. But it's probably mewl. Anyway, just taking a get around from reading, thought I'd overhaul this.
