GALILEJ GALILEO. BITTER EXPERIENCE

not satisfied with private teaching, Galilej has begun place searches at university. Alas, it was waited everywhere by failures: neither in Pisa, nor in Rome it and could not receive a vacant post. Have not helped neither good knowledge of a subject, nor the given works, responses of the well-known scientists. Position has changed when to help the young mathematician Giovanni Medici, illegal son Kozimo I, the stepbrother of the Grand Duke of Tuscany undertook. Since then Galilej on all life has learnt with what not the comparable power of the patronage. This experience was bitter, but instructive.

At Pizansky university where Galilej has held a post of the teacher, its position was unenviable. Paid to it then very little, and it constantly required means. Besides for ' excessive ' independence and independence of character of the colleague on university have taken a dislike Galilee and in every possible way let to it it know. No, it did not pursue every possible lampoons, have not worn on debates - to simply it, ' to the admirer of doubtful novelty ', paid in silent animosities and neglect.

Its impudent and restless mind insinuated, attempting upon authority of the great. Colleagues responded about it spitefully: ' He does not value traditions and scoffs at custom to carry a toga. The lecturer who does not have a scientific degree, the upstart, zatesavshijsja in scientific numbers thanks to the high and not deserved patronage! ' But, nevziraja on what, Galilej is a lot of and actively worked. A year later after the work beginning in Pisa he has written the treatise ' About movement ' in which for the first time has put arguments against aristotelevskogo doctrines about ph. falling

Later they have been formulated by it in the form of the law on proportionality of the way passed by a body, to a square of time of falling (under Aristotle's statement, ' in a vacuum all bodies fall infinitely quickly '). All it has caused even more disapproving relation to it from outside representatives of a state scholastic science. Relations with colleagues were heated to a limit and consequently the young scientist was glad to moving to Padua where besides not without the aid of the influential patron it was possible manage a post at local university.
