  Galileo Galilei - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Galileo was born in Pisa, in the Tuscany region of Italy on February 15, 1564.
However, Galileo did perform experiments involving rolling balls down inclined planes, which proved the same thing: falling or rolling objects (rolling is a slower version of falling, as long as the distribution of mass in the objects is the same) are accelerated independently of their mass.
Galileo also put forward the basic principle of relativity, that the laws of physics are the same in any system that is moving at a constant speed in a straight line, regardless of its particular speed or direction.

I graduated from the St. Petersburg Pedagogical University in 1973 and worked as a physics teacher and physics department chairperson at a technical vocational school (a kind of high school) in St. Petersburg, Russia, for 16 years.
The main thing I realized was that the schooling systems differed greatly in different countries, depending on what national and historical peculiarities they had, what the level of their economic development was, and what role and objective the physics education had in the schooling system as a whole.
