Galileo's Daughter

Now, let's talk about Galileo's daughter and how she was so essential to his writing.


Firstly, Galileo's daughter (i forgot her name, so let's call her GD) helped take care of his health. At a very old age (70 i think), Galileo's bound to die pretty easily. The Bubonic Plague was going around as well! So, she helped to do his finances, made medicine for him, gave him food, and helped him the best she could. Aw, such the filial child.

Secondly, when Galileo was writing his book, The Dialogue, GD was the editor. She helped to put the book together, as well.

Finally, when Galileo was tried by the inquisition for his book, she helped with the punishment that he was given. Galileo was put under house arrest, his book was banned, and he had to recite penance prayers. However, GD took care of all the prayers so Galileo could continue to write, observe, and discover new things. This allowed Galileo to study motion, and make a base for Sir Isaac Newton to later build upon. That's how we got most of our physics today!
