Galileo, Newton, and Steam Engines

What i've learned about Galileo is that, you can be proud of your work and not be afraid to show it to people. Galileo went against his religion, basically to prove something that was wrong for many years right. Its inspiring becaum pretty sure their are people out there that hve inventions, but dont want to put it in public because they are scared that they will be critized in public. That wasn't the case for Galileo.
What i also learned about Isaac Newton is that , you dont have to be a total brainiac to become a scientist. Newton hated school and was not intresed in anything that delt with school, and now he's a big part of our lives now. In this case, you can be anything you want to be if you put your heart in it.
I've learned that the steam engine is very important to our lives now because without that, we wouldnt have any transportation anywhere. Not only that, but it made me realize that even the smartest people need th help and ideas from others. Just as James Watt wouldn't have done it without the help and ideas from Thomas Savery
