Oh come one guys, you are missing the man ... THE MAN!

GALI ... LEO!

• a.k.a. "father of modern astronomy", "father of modern physics", and "father of science"
• pioneering use of quantitative experiments with results analyzed mathematically (compared to this guy Francis Bacon was a chump)
• law of acceleration of falling bodies, for instance, required accurate measurements of time
• was one of the first people to use the telescope to observe the sky
• discovered Jupiter's four largest moons
• observed sunspots
• observed the Milky Way
• determined the correct mathematical law for acceleration
• concluded that objects retain their velocity unless a force -- often friction -- acts upon them (uhhh inertia anyone?)
• noted that a pendulum's swings always take the same amount of time, independently of the amplitude
• tried to measure the speed of light
• made a thermometer

Don't be led astray the tall buildings of science with their fancy glass windows, look to the man who made the framework and concrete base.
