2.Why did it take so long for Galileo’s results to be confirmed
The Church, who governed during this time period, was hesistant to accept Galileo's spatial claims (a heliocentric system). it was later confirmed by Jesuit astronomers.
i just dont get this galileo stuff
because it took that long to go to an environment with no atmosphere, hence no air resistance.
Because scientific study and research was kinda difficult at his time - the church was acting like a hooligan then. They brandished anyone (like they did to Galileo) whose findings conflicted the church's preaching, a traitor. Publishing one's scientific study in the open was a sure-shot suicide back then. So, there was hardly anyone who could/would/wanted to check out Galileo's claims.
which result are we talking about?
i think the space stuff
In general @Vaidehi09 - kinda historic links in the question.

oh...i was referring to this one - "two bodies, irrespective of their masses, will fall to the ground, from the same height, at the same time."
Oh lol, no worries.
