Features: This book introduces readers to the real stories of the great scientists Newton and Galileo. Newton achieved extraordinary accomplishments in fields such as astronomy, mathematics, and physics with his profound and broad wisdom. The calculus he founded has become a fundamental mathematical tool for describing the physical world. He was the first to study physical optics and pointed the way for future researchers. Newton's three laws of motion are not only the basic content of today's physics textbooks but also the guiding principles for our scientific practice. His law of universal gravitation changed people's narrow understanding of the universe. Any one of his achievements was enough to immortalize his name, yet he achieved all of them. In the 1980s of the 16th century, a brilliant Italian scientist used his skillful hands to create a telescope and aimed it at the distant sky. Amazing scenes passed before his eyes, revealing the secrets of the sky and slowly lifting the curtain of modern science. He is the Italian scientist whom Italy takes pride in—Galileo.
