Galileo was one of those guys who could turn his hand to most things - a ‘polymath’; he has been called the father of science, modern physics, astronomy and the scientific method. Galileo got into deep water with the Roman Church when, in 1633, they deemed him a heretic for his observations that it was the Earth that rotated round the Sun (the Copernican model) and not the other way around.
