Using new tools to look at the universe, says Patrick Brady, often has led to discoveries that change the course of science. History is full of examples.“Galileo was the first person to use the telescope to view the cosmos,” says Brady, a UWM professor of physics. “His observations with the new technology led to the discovery of moons orbiting Jupiter and lent support to the heliocentric model of the solar system.”…
