[edit] Unverified date for Galileo?
Does anyone have an attribution for the 1592 entry on Galileo? The earliest date I can find is about 1606-1607, which is still way before any other entry, but God is in the details, no? Dandrake 19:22 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- Another user has mentioned that this date contradicts with his/her research (to be verified), and has added the relevant information at Thermometer. I've added tags here and there. -postglock 04:23, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
- I have posted a refrence for the date on the Talk:Thermometer. The date is 1593 not 1592. --Wiz126 05:23, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
