This person's namesake parameter is defined as the gravitational acceleration times the square of the density times the cube of the characteristic length, divided by the square of the viscosity and it was introduced in his Discourse on Floating Bodies. Without the displacement current, Maxwell's equations are invariant under his namesake transform and, though he fell-out with Scheiner over a Letter on Sunspots, a work that began as a Dialogue on Tides landed him in much more trouble. For ten points, name this early scientist whose Dialogue on the Two Chief World Systems led to his 1633 trial and banishment by the Inquisition.
