They were seen to fall evenly, c1918
They were seen to fall evenly, c1918. In 1589 the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) dropped two balls of different masses from the Leaning Tower of Pisa to demonstrate that their time of descent was independent of their mass. From Story-Lives of Great Scientists, by F. J. Rowbotham [Wells Gardner, Darton & Co. Ltd. London, c1918]. (Colorised black and white print)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorized print takes us back to the year 1589, where renowned Italian scientist Galileo Galilei conducted a groundbreaking experiment at the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The image showcases two balls of different masses gracefully descending from the tower, illustrating Galileo's revolutionary discovery that their time of descent remains unaffected by their mass. Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), an eminent physicist and astronomer, dedicated his life to unraveling the mysteries of our universe. His ingenious experiment shattered long-held beliefs about gravity and laid the foundation for modern physics. The Leaning Tower of Pisa stands tall in this photograph, serving as a backdrop for Galileo's scientific demonstration. Located in Tuscany, Italy, this iconic structure has witnessed centuries of history and now witnesses another momentous event in its timeline. The vibrant colors breathe new life into this print, allowing us to visualize the excitement surrounding Galileo's profound discovery during the early 20th century when this image was colorized. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene captured by F. J. Rowbotham, we are reminded not only of Galileo's brilliance but also his relentless pursuit of knowledge that forever changed our understanding of physics. This print serves as a testament to human curiosity and scientific progress throughout history – an enduring reminder that even centuries-old experiments continue to inspire awe and wonder today.
