When he was studying at the University of Pisa, he was very curious and often asked questions, such as "Why don't planets move in straight lines?" Some teachers thought he had too many questions, but he never cared. Also asked. Once, Galileo learned that the mathematician Leach was visiting Pisa, so he prepared many questions to ask Leach. This time it was great. The teacher was tireless in teaching, and the students asked endless questions.
