Galileo is remembered most for his work in astronomy, but he also made several discoveries in physics that would, in turn, inspire the work developed later on by other more noted physicists. Galileo′s work on vacuum theory would influence Boyle′s later work on proving that Galileo′s early theories were true and valid. Galileo′s experimentation with mechanics and the way objects move would later influence Newton′s theories on gravity. Compare and contrast Galileo′s influence on both Boyle and Newton, and discuss how Galileo can be described as the world′s first physicist.
