What Galileo did?

Galileo Galilei1564-1642

In 1609 Galilei got the letter from Netherland. The sender informed him about a new device invented by several Holland craftsmen simultaneously and independently.The case was widely discussed among public because of trialwhere on of craftsmen asked jury for personal patent and was denied

Galilei drew some hints from the letter and made the deviceToday we call it “telescope” after Giovanni Demisiani who saw it at 1611

So Galilei did not invented telescope. BUT he applied it to something unusual –to the sky at night.

Take something known and apply it to something unusual

in German and French publications of 1784 and 1785,the phenomenon is now known as Brownian motion
