The article presents the main stages in life and activity of the prominent Italian scientist
Galileo Galilei, his scientific achievements in the fields of mechanics and creation of natural
science cognition method, meaning of his creative work for the development of science and
culture on the whole.
The results of Galileo’s telescopic observations (mountains on the Moon, Jupiter’s
satellites, spots on the Sun, phases of Venus) made in 1609–1610drastically changed the
existing views on the world structure and advocated Nicolas Copernicus’s heliocentric system.
Galileo Galilei is really considered to be the initiator of natural experimental studies. He
believed that science has to rely only on experiment as a source and the main criterion
of scientific knowledge validity. Having introduced the experiment and mathematization
of theoretic knowledge, Galilei laid the foundations for the new ideas about motion. The
scientist disproved that the terminal velocity of a falling object was proportional to its weight,
discovered the law of motion of falling bodies, revealed the property of bodies to keep their
velocity, formulated the principle of relativity, and established that action was the reason for
change in velocity of the body motion, etc.
