#13 Galileo Galilei
Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) was an Italian astronomer, physicist and philosopher. His achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations. Galileo has been called "the father of science". His discoveries with the telescope revolutionized astronomy and paved the way for the acceptance of the Copernican heliocentric system, but his advocacy of that system eventually resulted in an Inquisition process against him.
