Suppose Galileo Galilei (15 February 1564 – 8 January 1642) was an Italian astronomer, physicist, and engineer, sometimes described as a polymath, from Pisa. Galileo has been called the "father of observational astronomy", the "father of modern physics", and the "father of the scientific method".
Can we infer that "Galileo Galilei was born in the early 17th century"?
