He wanted to, demonstrate the rate that objects of different sizes and weight fell. He found that regardless of weight and size, the objects, in this case cannonballs, hit the ground at the same time.
Galileo was not a scientist-scientific method had yet to be created. He wasn't questioning things as much as trying to put across the viewpoint that the Earth revolves around the Sun, though he had many astrological discoveries.
He was testing whether heavier objects, in his case-different sizes of cannon balls, fell at a faster rate. He found out that they did not. The smallest shot and the largest shot hit the earth from the same height at the same time when released together.
That all the planets revolved around the Sun and not the Earth
His principle one, that got him into heavy bother with the Vatican, was the solar-centric solar-system rather than the officially-approved, Aristotelian geocentric universe.
he wanted to acomplish the makeing of a telescope because he wanted to see objects in bigger size!
he wasn't trying to prove a theory.
It was Galileo.
Galileo challenged Aristotle's belief that heavier objects fell faster than lighter ones.
He was an Italian scientist of the 17th century. He did not prove the heliocentric theory. But everyone accepts the heliocentric principle now, after it was proved right; but that happened long after Galileo's time, after new scientific discoveries in the latter half of the 1600s.
The astronomical telescope.
Galileo did not prove that Earth was not flat (It had already been agreed that it was round). Galileo invented the telescope and used it to prove that there were objects which did not orbit the Earth, supporting Copernicus' Heliocentric model for the universe. The Earth was known to be round by the ancient Greeks, but I do not who it found out initially (sorry).
that he was awesome :)
