Fare il giro del mondo di EVENT in EVENT. Sono richieste foto!
Drive around the world from EVENT to EVENT. Photos are required!
Questa Geocoin è dedicata a Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) filosofo, matematico, umanista, astronomo e fisico, membro dell'accademia dei "Lincei" e autore di molti libri e scritti di astronomia che confermavano la teoria eliocentrica copernicana a scapito di quella radicata tolemaica che vedeva la terra al centro dell'universo. Ciò gli valse scomuniche e poi abiura, ma la sua ricerca fu fondamentale ai fini del metodo scientifico moderno (chiamato non a caso "galileiano"). Fece anche ricerche importanti sulla gravità facendo esperimenti nella sua città natale: Pisa.
Perfezionando il telescopio riuscì a individuare 4 dei 63 satelliti di Giove (Io, Callisto, Europa e Ganimede).
Questa Geocoin mi è toccata in sorte a un Event in Toscana e come tale vorrei che compisse la sua duplice missione da Galileo e da Event Geo Coin. Ovvero fare il giro del mondo di Event in Event, dimostrando così che l'attrazione di gravità funziona davvero in ogni parte del mondo e soprattutto durante i Geo-event che riescono ad "attrarre" sempre un sacco di geocachers!
Ovviamente sono richieste FOTO per documentare la scientificità del viaggio!

This Geocoin is dedicated to Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) philosopher, mathematician, humanist, astronomer and physicist, a member of the "Lincei" and author of many books and writings on astronomy, which confirmed the Copernican heliocentric theory at the expense of entrenched Ptolemaic period that saw the earth at the center of the universe. This earned him excommunication and then recanting, but his research was essential to the modern scientific method (not by chance called "Galileian"). He also did important researches on the gravity, experimenting in his home town of Pisa.
Perfecting the telescope was able to identify 4 of the 63 satellites of Jupiter (Io, Callisto, Europa and Ganymede).
I allotted this Geocoin to an event in Tuscany, and as such I wish it was to carry its dual mission by "Galileian" and Geo Event Coin: go around the world from Event to Event, thus demonstrating that the attraction of gravity really works all over the world and especially during the Geo-event which can "attract" a lot of geocachers!
Course PHOTOS are required to document the scientificity of the trip!
