A Discourse Presented to the Most Serene Don Cosimo II., Great Duke of Tuscany, Concerning the Natation of Bodies Vpon, and Submersion In, the Water.
Galileo Galilei and Thomas Salusbury
Why does ice float and iron sink? Galileo answered with definitions, axioms and theorems, arguing from pure reason against the philosophers of his day. Addressed to the Grand Duke of Tuscany, this discourse on bodies in water shows the master applying mathematics to a common wonder. Watch one of science's great minds reason from a floating chip of wood.
