medical student in 1581 and became a professor of mathematics at Padua 1592 1610 where he improved the telescope and was the first to use it for astronomy At the time that Galileo arrived at the University of Pisa some argument had started up on one of Aristotle s laws of nature which heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones Imagine Aristotle at the top of a building dropping two balls one twice as heavy as the other According to his words the heavier one should fall faster than the lighter one At that time Aristotle s words had been accepted as a truth and there had been 用心 爱心 专心5 few attempts to actually test Aristotle s conclusion by actually conducting an experiment However Calileo decided to have a try He needed to be able to drop the objects from a great height The perfect building was right at hand the Tower of Pisa 54 meters tall Galileo climbed to the top of the building carrying a variety of balls of different sizes and weights and dropped them from the top They all landed at the base of the building at the same time it was said that the experiment was witnessed by a huge crowd of students and professors It proved that Aristotle was wrong No matter what the

which holds 9 of the world s fresh water If all this ice were to melt the world s oceans would rise by six to seven meters The Inuit people previously known as Eskimos were the first people of this
