His father, musician Vincenzio Galilei said, \"Truth is not found behind a man's reputation. Truth appears only when the answers to questions are searched out by a free mind. This is not the easy path in life but it is the most rewarding.\" Galileo challenged divine law and the physics of Aristotle, and questioned everything in search of truths.
