You do realize Galileo and Kepler were around at the same time, right? Galileo is the best example of what I claimed.

You criticize me for "not doing my homework" yet you haven't heard of Castelli[0]? He's even in the fucking Wiki article on Galileo lol[1]

Your knowledge of Boltzmann seems to be as deep as your knowledge of Galileo.

You're absolutely right. You should read some of it. Or if you don't like reading I do highly recommend An Opinionated History of Mathematics[2]. Blåsjö even has a whole season dedicated to Galileo.
