This diagram image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “Galileo's Shortest Time Curve Conjecture.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

Summary

Description
English: Galileo’s conjecture is that “The shortest time of all will be that of its fall along the arc ADB [of a quarter circle] and similar properties are to be understood as holding for all lesser arcs taken upward from the lowest limit B.” This diagram helps to explain the conjecture in Wikipedia.
