Nonsense.
Where on earth did you get the idea that Galileo ignored gravity?

Today Galileo is a famous and romantic name. We have all been taught the
story of his heroic fight in the name of science against the intractable
ignorance of the tyrannical Catholic church. The reality is not so starkly
drawn, but no less interesting for that; Galileo's own arrogance created
many enemies, and Rome's anxiety over its authority in the schismatic era of
the Protestant reformation made their collision inevitable.

Galileo was a professor of mathematics, first at the University of Pisa,
where he had been born, and then at Padua, perhaps establishing a reputation
for his willingness to offend Aristotelian philosophers perhaps, with the
publication of De Motu (On Motion), but for little more. But while
continuing to work as a mathematician, Galileo's interest in philosophy
(i.e., physics) and then astronomy grew. With the publication of Siderius
Nuncius, or The Starry Messenger, in 1610--in which he recorded the sights
he had seen with the newly invented telescope, including the moons of
Jupiter, and the mountains of our own moon-Galileo was instantly famous
across Europe. He was also in the midst of controversy, for few believed him
until his findings could be verified by others with what was still a very
rare instrument (Galileo had made his own) and even then there were disputes
as to what those finding really were. This controversy was no impediment to
his ambitions, and his cultivation of the patronage of Cosimo de Medici,
Duke of Florence-to whom he had dedicated his book, and whose name he gave
to the Jovian moons-led to his being named "Chief Mathematician of the
University of Pisa and Philosopher to the Grand Duke." Mathematicians and
astronomers were not equivalent in the hierarchy of arts to philosophy, and
in his new position Galileo's wars with the Aristotelian philosophers
escalated, for physics was becoming his principle interest.

In 1615 he went to Rome to argue on behalf of the merits of the Copernican
theory, but the political atmosphere was such that Copernicus' De
Revolutionibus was placed on the Index of Prohibited Books in 1616, and his
theory declared "foolish and absurd philosophically and formally heretical
inasmuch as it expressly contradicts the doctrines of the holy scripture."
There is evidence that Galileo was warned against promoting the Copernican
theory at this time. A Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems first
made it past the censors by purporting to be neutral on the astronomical
debate. Its failure to do so was but one of the objections raised after
publication.

It had taken the Catholic Church seventy-three years to deem it neccessary
to ban De Revolutionibus, but when Galileo published A Dialogue Concerning
the Two Chief World Systems in 1632, it reacted within in five months, and
in 1633 his famous trial and recantation took place.

Get real, Socks.

Galileo was an experimenter. Einstein was an armchair theorist, and WRONG.
