That the usually relayed experiment of Galileo's dropping
never occurred and that the notions of Galileo were largely
from the Mertonian and latitude of forms then that Galileo's
experiments in the mechanics sector were mostly about
the tautochrone/brachistocrone, much like Newton's apple
never landing on his head and largely courtesy Kepler?
