The Galilean cannon is a thought experiment devised by the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei in the early 17th century. It exemplifies his ideas about motion and the principles of inertia, which later influenced Newton's laws of motion. In the thought experiment, Galileo imagined a cannon positioned on a very high mountain or tower.
