About This Quote
This quote by Galileo Galilei is one of the most iconic quotes in the history of the world. It was Galileo who discovered that objects fall at the same rate regardless of where they are dropped. He also figured out that what we see is affected by light, not movement. Of course, Galileo did not discover how these laws work, but he did come up with the idea.
This has been a key point of contention among philosophers and scientists ever since. Today, we know that these laws are true, but the mechanisms behind them are still mysterious.
