On the Isochronism of Galilei's Horologium
IFToMM Workshop on History of MMS – Palermo 2013 On the isochronism of Galilei's horologium Francesco Sorge, Marco Cammalleri, Giuseppe Genchi DICGIM, Università di Palermo, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract − Measuring the passage of time has always fascinated the humankind throughout the centuries. It is amazing how the general architecture of clocks has remained almost unchanged in practice to date from the Middle Ages. However, the foremost mechanical developments in clock-making date from the seventeenth century, when the discovery of the isochronism laws of pendular motion by Galilei and Huygens permitted a higher degree of accuracy in the time measure. Keywords: Time Measure, Pendulum, Isochronism Brief Survey on the Art of Clock-Making The first elements of temporal and spatial cognition among the primitive societies were associated with the course of natural events. In practice, the starry heaven played the role of the first huge clock of mankind. According to the philosopher Macrobius (4 th century), even the Latin term hora derives, through the Greek word ‘ώρα , from an Egyptian hieroglyph to be pronounced Heru or Horu , which was Latinized into Horus and was the name of the Egyptian deity of the sun and the sky, who was the son of Osiris and was often represented as a hawk, prince of the sky. Later on, the measure of time began to assume a rudimentary technical connotation and to benefit from the use of more or less ingenious devices. Various kinds of clocks developed to relatively high levels of accuracy through the Egyptian, Assyrian, Greek and Roman civilizations.

Galileo Galilei by Beatrix Mccrea Galileo Galilei Was an Italian Physicist, Engineer, and Astronomer Bestknown for Disc
3/24/2019 Galileo Galilei - Google Docs Galileo Galilei By Beatrix McCrea Galileo Galilei was an Italian physicist, engineer, and astronomer bestknown for discovering the four largest moons on Jupiter and his theory of gravity. His theory of gravity stated that if a bowling ball and a feather dropped at the same time in space they would land at the same time. He also invented the thermometer and an astronomical telescope. Galileo Galilei was born to Vincenzo Galilei and Giulia Ammanniti in Piza, Italy on February 15, 1564. He was the first of six children. There were two things that happened which led Galileo to find that he loved math and science. On The Famous People the text states “the first incident happened in 1581 when he first noticed that a chandelier despite swinging in small and large arcs took almost the same time to return to the first position.” The other incident was when he accidentally attended a geometry lecture. Both these incidents made Galileo find his love for science. Galileo discovered the four largest moons on Jupiter. On Biography.com it says Galileo Galilei was best known for discovering Jupiter and it’s four biggest moons. The names were Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. They were discovered by Galileo in January of 1610. Galileo used a better version of the telescope that made him made to see the four moons. Galileo Galilei had a very popular theory of gravity, that if there was no air resistance (like in space) you would drop a bowling ball and a feather and they would land at the exact same time.

Austin, Committee Member Cindy McTee, Committee Member Lynn Eustis, Director of Graduate Programs in the College of Music James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Walls, Jay Alan. Galileo's Eyeglass: An Orchestral Work Celebrating the Discovery of the Moons of Jupiter and the Rings of Saturn. Doctor of Philosophy (Composition), August 2011, 149 pp., 2 figures, 2 tables, 47 examples, 3 appendices, bibliography, 43 titles. Galileo's Eyeglass is a celebratory work for full orchestra with standard instrumentation commemorating Galileo Galilei's discoveries of the four largest moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn in 1610. The composition is approximately 14 minutes in duration, and although divided thematically into four parts, the music is continuous. The work exhibits primarily a blend of contemporary styles and compositional elements, yet it is rooted in traditional tonality; furthermore, the piece is interspersed with references to Galileo's life and times, including quotations of a toccata composed by the scientist's brother, Michelangelo Galilei, transcribed from lute tablature. Chapter 1 of Part 1 investigates relevant historical threads extracted from the backdrop of Galileo's life, from reflections on the events that shape the musical program, to the selection and preparation of the period music composed by Galileo's brother.

Galileu Galilei: El Naixement De La Ciència Moderna
Galileu Galilei: el naixement de la ciència moderna Victòria Rosselló Rosselló, V. (2016). Galileu Galilei: el naixement de la ciència moderna. In: Ginard, A.; Vicens, D. i Pons, G.X. (eds.). Idees que van canviar el món. Mon. Soc. Hist. Nat. Balears, 22; 53-65. SHNB - UIB. ISBN 978-84-608-9162-8. Disponible on-line a shnb.org/SHN_monografies Resum: El pensament de Galileu suposa el punt de partida de la Revolució Científica amb l’aparició d’una ciència on l’experimentació hi té un paper fonamental en contraposició a la ciència aristotèlica vigent al segle XVI. Amb el seu esforç intel·lectual, Galileu va fer trontollar l’edifici conceptual del seu temps amb el canvi d’actitud mental davant els problemes físics. La física galileana suposà una nova manera de mirar el món, que pretenia descobrir les lleis físiques que regulen els processos naturals. La nova manera d’analitzar els fenòmens de la naturalesa fou un procés que pot descriure’s com el pas de la recerca de causes a la recerca de lleis. La física aristotèlica s’ocupava del canvi (motio) i tenia com a objectiu comprendre els fenòmens de la naturalesa mitjançant l’examen de les causes. El coneixement pràctic (techne) havia estat exclòs per Aristòtil de la Filosofia Natural per considerar-lo inferior al coneixement científic (episteme). La Revolució Científica va consistir en bona mesura en la progressiva dissolució d’aquesta diferenciació i en la reconciliació del coneixement adquirit amb la pràctica amb l’obtingut mitjançant la raó. 54 Idees que van canviar el món Galileu Galilei va néixer el 15 de febrer de 1564 a Pisa i fou el primer de sis germans.

November 2018 P&F Newsletter LONG
WELCOME And just like that the weather shifted, and storms have raged across Italy. The cold season has arrived, though we hope that the rest of Autumn and Winter will be a little gentler. There are fewer visitors in the streets, and the lights of the city cast a warm glow as sunset falls a little earlier each day. It’s time to explore cozy galleries, to indulge in the best of rich Tuscan stews and roasted chestnuts. Or simply a drizzle of the first press of olive oil over toasted bread will make the perfect humble supper by the fireplace as the nights grow colder. With best wishes from SUZANNE, CORSO, BEI, LESLIE, VANNI, ANNA PIA, RAFFAELLA, AND MARISA. PITCHER & FLACCOMIO PICKS FOR NOVEMBER A NOVEMBER NOTE FROM SUZANNE: HOLD THE DATE AND DONATE Ciao everyone! Yet again, we need your help. On December 1st and 2nd, the American International Women's League ONLUS organises a Christmas bazaar. I am asking you all to think about what you would like to do to help make this a fabulously rich affair. We need a lot of things to sell, we need your clothing, so please go through your closets (and those of your significant other, plus your kids, etc.) to collect the things you no longer need. We are looking for all types of clothing plus purses, gloves, scarves, evening gowns, cocktail dresses, jewellery (diamonds, or not) and hats. Please let us know as we have volunteers going around Florence collecting things for the bazaar. Call Roberta Magni on number 3333956718 Another idea.

Galileo Galilei 1 Galileo Galilei
Galileo Galilei 1 Galileo Galilei « La filosofia è scritta in questo grandissimo libro che continuamente ci sta aperto innanzi a gli occhi (io dico l'universo), ma non si può intendere se prima non s'impara a intender la lingua, e conoscer i caratteri, ne' quali è scritto. Egli è scritto in lingua matematica, e i caratteri son triangoli, cerchi, ed altre figure geometriche, senza i quali mezzi è impossibile a intenderne umanamente parola; senza questi è un aggirarsi vanamente per un oscuro laberinto. » (Galileo Galilei, Il Saggiatore, Cap. VI) Galileo Galilei Galileo Galilei (Pisa, 15 febbraio 1564 – Arcetri, 8 gennaio 1642) è stato un fisico, filosofo, astronomo e matematico italiano, padre della scienza moderna. Il suo nome è associato ad importanti contributi in dinamica[1] e in astronomia - fra cui il perfezionamento del telescopio, che gli permise importanti osservazioni astronomiche[2] - e all'introduzione del metodo scientifico (detto spesso metodo galileiano o metodo scientifico sperimentale). Di primaria importanza furono il suo ruolo nella rivoluzione astronomica e il suo sostegno al sistema eliocentrico e alle teorie copernicane. Accusato di voler sovvertire la filosofia naturale aristotelica e le Sacre Scritture, Galileo fu per questo condannato come eretico dalla chiesa cattolica e costretto, il 22 giugno 1633, all'abiura delle sue concezioni astronomiche, nonché a trascorrere il resto della sua vita in isolamento. Biografia La giovinezza (1564-1588) Galileo Galilei nacque il 15 febbraio 1564 a Pisa, [3] primogenito dei sette
