[Day 669 2016-07-26]Lesson 32-2 Galileo reborn
一、課文
He was the man who climbed the Learning Tower of Pisa and dropped vavious weights from the top,who rolled balls down inclined planes,and then generalized the results of his many expriments into the famous law of free fall.
But a closer study of the evidence,supported by a deeper sense of the period,and paticularly by a new consciousness of the philosophical undercurrents in the scientific
revolution,has profoundly modified this view of Galileo.Today,although the cold 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 provides a striking demonstration of the potentialities hidden in instruments and apparatus.
