Answer:

Galileo relied completely on what today is understood as the scientific method direct observation and experimentation rather than the Bible or received tradition in his study of astronomy.

Explanation:

Galileo was the towering scientist of his age, much as Einstein was in the twentieth century. If, as we should, we associate the Renaissance with the beginning of the movement from the centrality of faith to the centrality of reason, he is the exemplar of reason for his period.

He developed the telescope, he was able to study the movement of the planets, discovering the four largest moons of Jupiter and determining that Aristotelean cosmology (a received tradition) was in error, causing a huge stir in the scientific community.

Galileo also studied velocity, dropping balls of different weights (again using the scientific method of direct observation) from the top of the leaning tower of Pisa to time how quickly they fell. He demolished Aristotle's contention that objects of different weights.

LiRa [457]

Answer:broken windows thesis

Explanation:broken windows thesis is a thesis which suggests that there is a link between disorderly behavior and the potential major crimes mostly in urban areas in America. According to this thesis there should be regulations or policies that clearly show the connection between maintaining order and preventing crime.Based on this thesis maintaining order can help alleviate criminal behaviour which comes after disorderly activities.

A broken window is used as a reference or example of how disorder result to crime if no maintainance is done , for example if a window get broken in a factory and no one cares to fix it , more windows get broken by young people throwing rocks at the windows,people who pass by begin to notice the weakness in that neighborhood and soon one will start to see drug-dealing and other criminal activities such as murder occuring in that same neighborhood. This started with just a minor disorder(a broken window) but it opened up a window to bigger crimes. According to this thesis attending to disorder as soon as possible is likely to prevent crime.
