I played the King live broadcast, and the ancient emperor was confused!

Chapter 449 The Leaning Tower of Pisa challenges the saints! Aristotle was shocked!

"Galileo was not a mathematician or a scientist at the beginning."

"Galileo was born in Pisa, Italy. Similar to children from middle-class families at the time, he received a private education and was later sent to a monastery to study."

"Galileo told his family that he wanted to be a missionary, but Galileo's father wanted him to become a doctor, so Galileo later studied medicine at the University of Pisa."

"Although he studied medicine, Galileo was still very interested in ancient Greek philosophy, Euclid's "Principles of Geometry", etc. He devoted a lot of time to research outside class."

[Hong Xiuquan]: "The missionaries are not bad either!"

[Hua Tuo]: (squints and smiles) “He is also a doctor!”

[Zhang Zhongjing]: "Look, our medicine has produced so many talented people!"

[Zhang Heng]: "So, all his knowledge comes from self-study?"

When Urban II heard that Galileo was a "heretic", he immediately led his followers to start personal attacks:

"What achievements can be achieved by self-study! Even Newton said, stand on the shoulders of giants!"

"These things you are doing are not something that an ordinary person can learn and master on their own!"

"Perhaps Galileo was just in name only!"

Words of Urban II.

In an instant, many people questioned Galileo's reputation.

[Saladin]: "Preacher and doctor seem to have nothing to do with his titles!"

[Hua Tuo]: "It's true!"

Also a doctor, Hua Tuo had a good impression of Galileo.

But every other line is like a mountain.

Especially when it comes to scientific research.

I want to teach myself to become a giant that leads the times!
I'm afraid it's not something an ordinary person can do!
Gauss was distracted while doing math problems while looking at the sky.

He waved his hand and wrote down the solution to the problem.

Then he put down his pen, crossed his legs and smiled frivolously: "Don't question a genius!"

The world of geniuses is different from that of ordinary people!

Su Yu also nodded with great approval:
"Yes, there are many geniuses in this world. They can accomplish things that ordinary people cannot accomplish."

"Galileo was such a genius!"

[Bai Qi]: "Self-taught? Who is not self-taught?"

Bai Qi was born as a commoner, and his military skills are among the best in the world!
This is genius!
[Han Xin]: "You're right! I'm also self-taught!"

Although Han Xin was a down-and-out nobleman, he studied all the military books by himself.

In the market place, no one answered my questions.

He also relied on self-study to become a military immortal!
There is no shortage of geniuses in this world!

Urban II was still very hostile to Galileo: "What are his specific deeds?"

Su Yu said with a smile: "Galileo has many deeds, such as discovering the law of the pendulum in the church."

Ashoka took another bite of the apple and listened curiously to the anchor's narration:
“If Newton discovered gravity through an apple, could Galileo discover something in a church?”

Sima Qian held the broken pen and looked at Galileo excitedly: "Maybe this is the world of genius!"

Ordinary people cannot empathize with geniuses. All they can do is listen!

"One day, the 19-year-old Galileo walked to the Pisa Cathedral. He didn't care much about religious ceremonies, but focused on the chandelier swinging like a pendulum in the center of the church hall."

【Urban II】: (angry) "This heretic! He disrespects God!"

[Hong Xiuquan]: “On behalf of God, I forgive him!”

Urban II covered his chest and almost vomited blood!

He was going to be pissed to death by these infidels!
"He used his right hand to feel the pulse on his left wrist and carefully recorded the number of pulse beats every time the chandelier swung."

"It was found that when the chandelier moved once, the number of recorded pulse beats was almost the same, and it had nothing to do with changes in the swing amplitude."

"After returning to school, he found ropes and chains of different lengths, as well as iron balls and wooden balls used as pendulums. He repeated the experiment again and again on the roof and branches, and recorded the swings with an hourglass. time required."

"Finally, he concluded that the period of the swing was only related to the length of the string and not to the weight of the pendulum."

"This is what we now know as the law of the pendulum, which is the isochrony of the pendulum."

"His discovery obviously violated Aristotle's theory of motion, which was regarded as a dogma by the church, because the latter believed that 'heavy objects will fall faster than light objects', that is to say, the period of the swing should be the same as that of the pendulum. related to the weight.”

[Urban II]: "How dare he question Aristotle! This damn evil heretic!"

Aristotle has an extremely high reputation in the West!
So does religion!

Galileo touched both religion and Aristotle.

Suddenly many Westerners became unhappy!
Aristotle stood up curiously, with a smile on his face:

"Questioning me? Hahaha! Even I was questioned? But his experiment makes sense. Facts speak louder than words. I will conduct the experiment based on his description! Whether it is right or wrong, I have my own measure!"

Aristotle graciously accepted Galileo's doubts.

In them, debates often arise.

Only experiment can solve all sophistry!
"There was a free fall experiment on the Leaning Tower of Pisa."

“The first person to study free fall was the ancient Greek scientist Aristotle. He proposed that the speed at which an object falls is determined by the weight of the object itself. The heavier the object, the faster it falls; conversely, the faster it falls. slow."

"Aristotle's theory influenced people for more than two thousand years, until the physicist Galileo proposed the opposite opinion."

Su Yudao.

Aristotle became even more interested: "Elaborate!"

Only when you have opponents can you have motivation!

He is not afraid of challenges from his opponents!
[Urban II]: "Bold! Galileo dares to question the sages! Execute this heretic!"

"Galileo wrote in "Dialogue of Two New Sciences": If according to Aristotle's theory, suppose there are two stones, the weight of the larger one is 8 and the weight of the smaller one is 4, then the falling speed of the larger one is 8, The small falling speed is 4. When two stones are tied together, the fast falling one will be slowed down by the slow one.

"So the entire system and falling speed are between 4 and 8. However, the overall weight of the two stones tied together is 12, and the falling speed should be greater than 8. This falls into a contradictory state."

Aristotle touched his chin and paced back and forth, thinking: "That seems to be the case!"

"Galileo concluded from this that the speed of a falling object should not be determined by its weight."

"He assumed in the book that the speed of free fall changes at a constant speed. To prove this point, Galileo, a 25-year-old young mathematics lecturer at the University of Pisa, went to the Leaning Tower of Pisa with his debate opponents and many others. ”

"Galileo climbed to the top of the tower and dropped a 100-pound iron ball and a one-pound iron ball at the same time."

"Under the watchful eye of everyone, the two iron balls unexpectedly fell to the ground almost parallel to each other."
