Features: This book is a biographical story that vividly records the life of Galileo Galilei, the founder of modern experimental science, the Italian physicist and astronomer. From his youth, he was filled with curiosity about natural phenomena, diligent in observation and thinking, and daring to question authority. He studied mechanics and kinematics, used a telescope to observe the stars, and made many astonishing discoveries, powerfully proving Copernicus's "heliocentric theory," fundamentally shaking the highest authority of the church. Under the cruel persecution of the Inquisition, he still fought an unyielding battle to defend the truth, making outstanding contributions to the development of physics and astronomy.
