    Is this a good thesis for a research paper on Galileo?
    Hey!
    I'm writing a research essay on Galileo Galilei for my Gr. 12 history class. It's supposed to be around 8 pages in length (double spaced) with 3 prongs and 2 proof paragraphs for each.

    "Galileo Galilei's theories and persistent values are responsible for the genesis of modern science."

    Is it too broad?

    My prongs are based around his most important contributions in Physics (Laws of falling bodies) and Astronomy (perfection of the telescope)
    His support and struggle with his support surrounding the Copernican theory,
    And his 2 books (Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems & Two New Sciences) and the effort it took to share them with the public

    Thank you to everyone who helps! :D

    PS. Unfortunately changing my topic isn't an option at this point.
    The thesis however has a decent amount of breathing room so any helpful hints on how to make it more refined or have an impact would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi, CyndiNoName!

    I apologize that no one came along to address your question! I just now noticed it myself!

    Did you finish your thesis, or is it still in the "works", please?

    Thanks!
