RIVERA-JUAREZ, JUAN MANUEL. Consequences of Galileo's work in later science. Rev.EIA.Esc.Ing.Antioq [online]. 2021, vol.18, n.35, pp.16-22. Epub 16-Oct-2021. ISSN 1794-1237. https://doi.org/10.24050/reia.v18i35.1455.
Galileo is an important personage in the history of science, that is why many of his concepts and technical contents have a special meaning and significance.
In Galileo's ideas, perhaps better than in any other of the protagonists of the scientific revolution, the theoretical dichotomy of the birth of the new and crucial concepts of Classical Physics can be appreciated: many of his opinions and concepts are still medieval while others are definitely modern. Precisely this dichotomy makes difficult to modify the real contribution of Galileo in the formulation of the concepts.
Most of the work carried out by Galileo had consequences for later science development, in this work only two of these consequences will be analyzed: the modifications of the concept of momentum, and the preparation of Newton's first law of motion.
