1590年,意大利物理学家伽利略在比萨斜塔上做了著名的自由落体实验,推翻了向来被奉为权威的古希腊学者亚里斯多德关于“物体落下的速度和重量成比例”的学说,建立了落体定理。许多学者对这一传说并不予置信,而比萨城中阿诺河上繁忙的桥头却矗立伽利略的高大铜像,比萨斜塔因此更加扬名,从而使世界各地游客纷至沓来,争相一睹斜塔风采。 In 1590, the Italian physicist Galileo made a famous free fall experiment on the Leaning Tower of Pisa, overthrowing Aristotle, the ancient Greek scholar who has always been regarded as authority, on the theory that “the speed and weight of an object fall in proportion” Established the falling body theorem. Many scholars disbelieve the legend and the tall bridge of Galileo stands on the busy bridge of Arno in the city of Pisa, making the Tower of Pisa so much more famous that tourists from all over the world come in after another.
