Elijah Fisher: 我讲述了伽利略的出身，他的父亲温琴佐是一位音乐家，但因经济原因从事商业。伽利略早年对数学的兴趣被父亲忽视，因为数学在当时被认为没有经济价值。伽利略先是在修道院接受教育，后因父亲担心他会放弃世俗事业而离开。虽然伽利略在商业上没有天赋，但他对机械学和音乐表现出浓厚的兴趣，并最终进入比萨大学学习医学。在大学期间，伽利略对亚里士多德的哲学产生了质疑，并因其好辩的性格而闻名。他最早的发现之一是关于教堂吊灯摆动的规律性，这使他发明了一种用于测量脉搏的仪器。尽管最初学习医学，伽利略对数学的兴趣日益浓厚，最终转向数学和物理学，并在阿基米德的著作中找到了灵感。

Galileo by Walter W. Bryant audiobook.

Step into the rattling streets of 16th-century Pisa and the candlelit halls of the Roman Inquisition with Walter W. Bryant’s “Galileo,” now brilliantly conveyed in audiobook form by a rich, authoritative voice that turns history into a living, breathing drama. From the moment our narrator’s warm timbre greets you, you’ll feel the tension of a young, fiercely curious mind as Galileo Galilei crafts his first telescope and peers into a cosmos full of untold mysteries. Bryant’s meticulous research blossoms in vivid scenes: the thrill of discovery as Jupiter’s moons come into focus, the hush of scholarly halls debating whether Earth orbits the Sun, and the harrowing footsteps echoing down stone corridors toward the Vatican’s tribunal. Each chapter crackles with intellectual passion, personal sacrifice, and the clash between reason and authority—brought to life through masterful pacing, subtle inflections, and evocative sound design that places you at Galileo’s side, heart pounding as he defends his truth against the might of the Church. Whether you’re a history buff, science enthusiast, or simply craving a gripping saga of courage and conviction, this audiobook will carry you across centuries in an unforgettable journey. Press play, and witness the dawn of modern science through the eyes of its greatest pioneer.
