Even if Galileo Galilei was considered to be the “father of modern observational astronomy”, the “father of modern physics”, the “father of science” and the “Father of Modern Science” (Wikipedia), he still was declared “vehemently suspect of heresy”. The reason why the Inquisition thought so was related to Galileo’s opinion concerning the fact that the Sun is placed in the center of the universe, and not the Earth.

However, the humanity had the chance to convince itself about the truth of Galileo’s words and a device like the Galileo Thermometer, offered by the guys over Think Geek, would be like an appreciation of his efforts.



“Anyway, we’re guessing you’ve probably seen floating thermometers before, but this one is a more intriguing design featuring a single floating disk encased between two glass panes. It indicates both Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature readings and is a terrific desk accessory or functional decoration for your home.”

The Galileo Thermometer measures no more than 7.2 x 7.2 x 1.8 inches and weighs approximately 3.7 pounds. So, if you are the type of person who is grateful to all of those who have managed to bring some sort of a contribution to the evolution of mankind, you can take the thermometer into consideration. It is available at Think Geek for the price of $49.99.
