Philosophy vs. science
Not by laws only cause :
not by measuring only reasoning
Discovered the laws of falling bodies
and its trajectory of projectile motion
Philosophy seeks exact knowledge,
not just better and better
approximation such as satisfyscientists
Anyone with his eyes in his head and
with his WIT about blind could serve
as a GUIDE for him..similarlymathematical guidelines to
science.
Mathematical precision is not to be
expected when matter is involved
True but where it is found, Why not
make use of it?!!!!
Science without philosophy is alwaysIMPOSSIBLE

COUNTER STRIKE PHILOSOPHER
Declared that Telescope is an
OPTICAL ILLUSION and
ridiculed Galileo or accused
him of fraud
At Rome, Father Clavius
declared his belief that all new
things seen were in the lenses
and not in the sky.

DIALOGUE AND THE INQUISITION
Those are allowing persons entirely ignorantof a science as
judges over those knowingit,so that by the authority conceded to
them
they are empowered to have things their way. The
sympathy,antipathy,occult
properties,influences andother termsemployed by phiosophers as a
cloak for thecorrect reply,the real hidden meaning is Idont

REWARD TO DIALOGUE Galileo got an APPRECIATION
Letter from university that
NOT TO TEACH in this institute.
POPE highly reflected on that
Dialogues and crushed him to
INDEFUNITE IMPRISONMENT.
Roman emperor said, NO BOOK written or Edited by GALILEO,
past or future,couldbe printed or reprinted
Galileo suffered a serious hernia and requested permission from
Rome to
see Doctors in Florence.This was REFUSED: leads him complete
BLIND.
