Well over three hundred years ago a young student stood in the cathedral at Pisa in Italy and watched a lamp swing to and fro. The lamp hung by a long chain from the roof; and when a door was opened, the draught would make it swing with a long sweep. When the draught ceased, the swing would get shorter and shorter as the lamp came to rest again.
Thousands and thousands of people must have seen the lamp swinging in this way. But this young student, whose name was Galileo, was the first to notice that as the swings of the lamp narrowed, they did not get slower or faster. Whether the swings were long or short, it seemed to Galileo that each one took just the same time. Being a scientist, he at once tested this idea.
