Once in class, Professor Biro gave a lecture on embryology. He said: "Whether a mother gives birth to a boy or a girl is determined by her father's strength. When the father is strong, the mother gives birth to a boy; If the father is weak, the mother will have a daughter. "
As soon as Professor Biro's voice dropped, Galileo raised his hand and said, "Teacher, I have a question. My neighbor, the man is very strong, but his wife has given birth to five daughters in a row. This is just the opposite of what the teacher said. How to explain this? "
"I said it according to Aristotle, a famous ancient Greek scholar, and it can't be wrong!" Professor Biro tried to subdue him.
Galileo went on to say, "Is it necessary for Aristotle to insist that what he said is true? Science must conform to the facts, otherwise it is not real science. " Professor Biro was stumped by this question and could not step down.
Later Galileo was criticized by the school, but his spirit of persistence, curiosity and pursuit of truth has not changed at all. Because of this, he finally became a generation of science masters.
