Life of Galileo
Description
Description
In the story, Galileo tries to explain the Copernican theory to his housekeeper’s son and declares that a new era has arrived. Wanting to confirm the Copernican theory by using a telescope invented in Holland and improved by him, Galileo moves to Florence in the hope of getting more funding for his research. The academics there adamantly reject his theories, however, and the Church forces him to give up his research. The new Pope does not accept Galileo’s discourse on modern observational astronomy and makes him face the Inquisition. Will Galileo brave torture stoically? Or will he recant his teachings?
