Why was Galileo so condemned when he held the correct view of the universe? Essentially Galileo was condemned for questioning the accepted‚ traditional explanation of the universe as supported by the Catholic Church at the time. Not only was Protestantism dealing heavy religious and political blows to the Church’s dominance in Europe‚ so to was an increasingly questioning scientific community of which Galileo seemed to be the most vocal combatant. Whilst he certainly didn’t question God’s involvement

and other planets‚ moons and stars revolve around the Earth. The heliocentric model states that the Earth and other planets rotate around the Sun. Scientists such as Johannes Kepler‚ Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton were vital in proving that heliocentrism is true. This includes Galileo studies of the moons of Jupiter‚ Kepler’s Law of Planetary Motion and Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation. Kepler’s 3 laws of planetary motion were the: * Laws of Ellipses * Laws of Areas * Laws of

limitations as Copernicus did. Going against the Catholic Church during Copernicus’s time was so dangerous that he had to publish his heliocentric theory posthumously. During Kepler’s time‚ the Catholic Church was weaker and Kepler could publicly defend heliocentrism from both a theoretical and theological perspective. Even though the Catholic was weakened‚ it did not mean that the Catholic Church was insignificant militarily. The Catholic Church could still find dissenters so long as the monarch of the state

The scientific revolution of the Renaissance had its start with Copernican heliocentrism and its culmination‚ a century later‚ with Newtonian mechanics. His most eminent representative‚ however‚ was the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei. In the field of physics‚ Galileo made the first laws of motion; in the astronomy department‚ he confirmed the Copernican theory with his telescopic observations. But none of these valuable contributions have had such significant consequences as the introduction of

Galileo was an Italian scientist and scholar that made pioneering observations that laid the foundation for modern physics and astronomy. He made a point of saying that you have to do more than just think something is true‚ you have to do it to prove it. With this being one of his principles he made many contradictions of thee only theories at the time‚ Artistole’s mostly. With this he made some enemies but also tried to be true to his Catholic beliefs. His‚ at the time‚ bizarre experiments and methods
