Knowledge: He changed knowledge by telling people about heliocentrism. People realised he was right later on, and now everyone believes in heliocentrism.

Time: It took Galileo time to build the telescope and figure out the earths rotation and how it revolves. So in the beginning of time, people believed the wrong thing.

Beliefs: Galileo was Catholic even though he opposed the catholic church. He went against his own religion because he believed he was right.

Society: Galileo contributed to society because he helped the society by telling them his discoveries and how it changes the society for the better.

Values: Galileo valued many scientific ideas and theories. For example, he valued Astronomy and the Heliocentric theory (the earth rotates around the sun)

Economy: Galileo's theories affected the economy because, once he found out the earth rotated around the sun, it affected the churches economy because they then were questioned, and less people supported the church, which decreased the donations to the church.
