Galileo gets credit he does not deserve for the parabolic nature of projectile motion, the law of inertia, and the “Galilean” principle of relativity. In reality, his treatments of all of these matters were riddled with errors and fundamental misunderstandings.

What was Galileo’s great innovation in science? To give practical experience more authority than philosophical systems? To insist on mechanical as opposed to teleological or supernatural explanations of natural phenomena? To take mathematical physics as our best window into the fundamental nature of reality as opposed to just a computational tool for a small set of technical problems? No, none of the above. All of these things had been old hat for thousands of years.

Was Galileo “the father of modern science” because he was the first to unite mathematics and physics? Or the first to base science on data and experiments? No. Galileo was not the first to do any of these things, despite often being erroneously credited with these innovations.

Essas são as discussões e dilemas que surgem no contexto internacional a partir da segunda guerra mundial.

Palestra por ocasião da celebração do centenário de Joaquim Costa Ribeiro, Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Fisicas, Rio de Janeiro, 23 de novembro, 2006. Uma lição que aprendemos com Costa Ribeiro é a importância de termos uma ciência moderna, atualizada e fortemente vinculada ao ambiente científico internacional. A situação de relativo atraso em que ainda vivemos não pode servir de justificativa para termos uma ciência também atrasada e subdesenvolvida. A segunda lição é que...

Our picture of Greek antiquity is distorted. Only a fraction of the masterpieces of antiquity have survived. Decisions on what to preserve were made by in ages of vastly inferior intellectual levels. Aristotelian philosophy is more accessible for mediocre minds than advanced mathematics and science. Hence this simpler part of Greek intellectual achievement was eagerly pursued, while technical works were neglected and perished. The alleged predominance of an Aristotelian worldview in antiquity...

Divergent interpretations of Galileo's alleged greatness cut across disciplinary divides: mathematics versus philosophy, science versus humanities. Understanding Galileo means dealing with these fundamental tensions.

Ancient Greek scientists studied the dynamics of falling bodies. Were "Galileo's" discoveries anticipated in these treatises that have since been lost? This question leads to a bigger one regarding relativism versus universalism in the history of thought.

Galileo committed scores of errors in his physics. These are bad in themselves and also undermine Galileo’s claim to credit for the things he did get right.

Galileo dismissed the notion that the moon influences the tides as “childish” and “occult.” Instead he argued that tides are a kind of sloshing due to the motion of the earth. This very poor theory is inconsistent with several of his own scientific principles.

Uma das principais diferenças que podem eventualmente explicar o relativo sucesso ou fracasso das tradições de pesquisa se refere à sua base institucional.
