I love Galileo! He was so poetic. “The mother of love emulates the figures of Cynthia”. Cynthia was originally a nickname of the Greek goddess of the moon, Artemis, who was sometimes called "Cynthia" because the goddess was supposedly born on Mount Cynthus.
When I was in High School we still used a slide rule and log tables. I saw my first pocket calculator in 1971. By 1974 they stopped making both of them. Hallelujah!
