The outward urge

Article Abstract:

Scientific insights have more commonly arisen from asking small practical questions, such as the rate at which objects fall when they weigh differently, rather than by asking large questions. Galileo Galilei, born in the 16th century, was a key figure in the development of science, and he carried out experiments to observe what occurred. He developed the telescope, and later scientists built on his work. Gradually it was realised that the world was part of an expanding universe, and that it was much older than previously believed.
