First published Fri Mar 4, 2005; substantive revision Wed May 10, 2017. Galileo Galilei (1564â1642) has always played a key role in any history of science and, in many histories of philosophy, he is a, if not the, central figure of the scientific revolution of the 17th Century. His work in physics or natural philosophy, astronomy, and the methodology of science still evoke debate after over 400 years.
When building his telescope, Galileo did not think of the scientific uses of this instrument, its technological capabilities seeming to him sufficiently important. It was after few months he had built the telescope that Galileo began using it to observe the heavens.ithin two months, Galileo completed the task of building the first astronomical telescope. Like the Dutch artisans, Galileo also used his knowledge of lenses and a process of trial and error in order to improve his telescope. He had no sound scientific theory to go on.
