When the pendulum reaches its lowest point it uses the momentum from the swing and uses that to swing the other way this process stays in an endless loop unless another force acts upon it just like newton's law.

This is a common fact now but in Galileo's time many believed the fact of ancient greek philosopher Aristotle who used logic other the experiments.
