As a science enthusiast since childhood, I have read and heard this over-simplified narrative about Galileo countless times. If you look more deeply into the real history, you’ll find that Galileo was a good friend of pope Urban VIII who had a good deal of sympathy for Galileo’s views. The real problem was that Galileo, brilliant as he was as a scientist, was stupid when it came to politics. He constantly feuded with the Jesuits.(at the time, the equivalent of the current scientific establishment) and took every opportunity to make them look bad. This, of course did not make him any friends. The straw that broke the camel’s back was when Galileo published his “Dialogue on the Ebb and Flow of the Sea” as a dialog between three people, one of them being “Simplicio” (a clever but veiled insult) who held the Aristotelian viewpoint. Galileo stupidly put one of the ideas that pope Urban had earlier expressed in the mouth of Simplicio. The Jesuits, when they read this, were only too happy to point it out to the pope. In Galileo’s day, taking a shot at the pope, whether on purpose or by accident, was just about the stupidest political move that anyone could make. And he suffered the consequences. So the “church against science” narrative is largely nonsense and is in the domain of those with an axe to grind against Christianity.
Well said. The Church was actually very tolerant of Galileo's ideas. In his arrogance, he taught his theories as fact when confirmation had not yet been made. Apparently, universities has more academic integrity then than they do today. Galileo's biggest problem was alienating those who were his biggest supporters. In modern lingo, we would say he was a jerk. All of this "religion vs science" is nothing but modernist nonsense.

Galileo did NOT prove heliocentrism. He supported it. He told a long-time friend, Pope Urban VIII, that he was writing a piece on heliocentrism. In his Dialogue on the Two World Systems, he placed some of Urban's words in the mouth of a character named "Simplisimus" -- "simpleton" is a good translation. Urban did not appreciate being called an idiot in print, and had Galileo brought up before the Inquisition. The official charge was heresy, the actual offense was lèse majesté. Henry VIII had people executed for insulting him. Louis XIII of France would have locked him up and thrown the key away. He also did not drop anything off the Leaning Tower. He rolled balls of different weights down an inclined plane. Get your facts straight.
The scientific community rejected Galileo because he went against religion and stated the Earth was not the center of the universe. The scientific community is rejecting me because I state the "Big Bang" was our universe turning itself into a gargantuan particle collider going against the religious "Big Bang" theory. I feel his pain. Luckily, I can't be arrested for stating my views.
I just wonder how science and religion can be different and contracdictory when both claim to know the secrets of the universe!! Shouldnt there be a singular truth explaining everything? Religion is nothing but the homo sapien way of making cosmic theories into mythological stories! Yet how can it be contradictory! Galileo didnt go against religion, those orthodox creatures of that era went against humanity!!
"rejected Galileo because he went against religion and stated the Earth was not the center of the universe." First of all that was not a dogma or an infallible statement, he while not wrong, could not prove it, he was friends with the pope. As one man said above "He constantly feuded with the Jesuits.(at the time, the equivalent of the current scientific establishment) and took every opportunity to make them look bad. This, of course did not make him any friends. The straw that broke the camel’s back was when Galileo published his “Dialogue on the Ebb and Flow of the Sea” as a dialog between three people, one of them being “Simplicio” (a clever but veiled insult) who held the Aristotelian viewpoint. Galileo stupidly put one of the ideas that pope Urban had earlier expressed in the mouth of Simplicio. The Jesuits, when they read this, were only too happy to point it out to the pope." Also read this "which appeared to attack Pope Urban VIII and thus alienated both the Pope and the Jesuits, who had both supported Galileo up until this point." "In 1741, Pope Benedict XIV authorised the publication of an edition of Galileo's complete scientific works" " All traces of official opposition to heliocentrism by the church disappeared in 1835 when these works were finally dropped from the Index.[220][221] Interest in the Galileo affair was revived in the early 19th century, when Protestant polemicists used it (and other events such as the Spanish Inquisition and the myth of the flat Earth) to attack Roman Catholicism." In short, He was not against religion, while not perfect as he had children outside of marriage, he was noted to be pious and catholic. His trial of him being suspected of heresy did not end in him being trialed for heresy. He is buried in a catholic basilica. In short, no he was not againts Religion, he was just slandering the patrons of science, who so happened to be clergy.
Great video. I do have some criticisms though. First, the Pisa experiment was a thought experiment not an empirical one. Second, Pope Urban VIII had been a patron to Galileo and had given him permission to publish on the Copernican theory as long as he treated it as a hypothesis, but after the publication in 1632, the patronage broke due to Galileo placing Urban's own arguments, which sided with the scientific consensus view at the time, in the mouth of a simpleton character named "Simplicio" in the book and this caused great offense to the Pope VIII. Also, Observations that favored the heliocentric model over the geocentric model were lacking and not obvious at the time of Galileo's trial in the early 1600s. Direct evidence supporting heliocentrism had to wait for the emergence of Newtonian mechanics in the late 17th century, the observation of the stellar aberration of light by James Bradley in the 18th century, the analysis of orbital motions of binary stars by William Herschel in the 19th century, and the accurate measurement of the stellar parallax in the 19th century. According to physicist Christopher Graney, Galileo's own observations did not actually support the Copernican heliocentric view, but were more consistent with Tycho Brahe's hybrid model where the Earth did not move, and everything else circled around it and the Sun. Source: Wikipedia-> Galileo affair
Yep. The issue was that he was putting forward a scientific hypothesis that had inadequate evidence. He was notoriously narcissistic and wanted to be known as being greater than Aristotle. A smart man, yes, but completely conceited and it was his direct mocking of the pope that actually got him in trouble.
@@StephensCrazyHour That is true. Although, if you ask me I wouldn't change that event as Galileo did set the foundation of modern astronomy. I would instead focus more on the new atheists spewing off these polemics and change the way the public views the relationship between science and religion.
Pope Urban VIII waged war badly in the 30 years war. He was not well liked and was probably very insecure. The Church handled the affair terribly, but it was Cardinals of the Inquisition, who imprisoned and threatened the 70yr old Galileo with torture- which frankly was pathetic. There were even warnings that if the heliocentric model proved correct in the future, the Church's reputation would suffer. As in everything it seems, Galileo was right, and the Church has been perceived as bigoted ever since.
@@outofoblivionproductions4015 Urban's intolerance is a red herring. Also, Cardinal Bellarmine openly stated that if Galileo was right the church would accept heliocentrism. Galileo was never tortured. However, the pope decreed that the interrogation should stop short with the mere threat of torture. This was a routine kind of limitation for people of advanced age and ill health like Galileo, and it should not be attributed to the influence of the scientist's supporters. The only reason this conflict thesis has prevailed is because the enlightenment polemicists and sagan didn't bother to cross check their stories.
@@Ryan-ii8xo Ground-breakers and saints in the Church have often been persecuted. Galileo was a great thinker, and suffered at the hands of lesser minds. It is not the right attitude to dismiss how the Church persecuted him. Humans err, and the Church stuffed up on this occasion, and has suffered the bad reputation, for it. But humans stuff up all the time. It's not unusual, but normal actually.
3:00 While the geocentric model was the "official position" of the Church, it was not dogma, or an infallible judgement of the Pope. The Church believes it cannot err on teaching faith and morals - the dogma of the Church - however, it's bureaucratic and general rules can be erroneous, as this one was.
Interesting video! Although Aristarchus was the first to propose the Heliocentric model during ancient Greek times. It's a shame lots of physics from that era was lost or forgotten about for centuries as they were clearly way ahead of their time.
I hope people start honouring people when they are alive not after they are dead. For speaking the truth he was being house arrest. And later honoured when dead. What an irony!!!
Religion is a big tool to this, he was ahead of his time. He believed in God , but they limited themselves then. Politics was also involved. Great topic as always 👍🏽.
He was narcissistic and was unwilling or unable to gather sufficient evidence to overturn the scientific consensus of the day. He resorted instead to insulting the pope. The myth around him was just that - a myth.
Galileo might have burnt at the stake if he wasn't earlier friends with the man who became pope. In the Vatican legend has it there is a black library. Within may be writings and drawings by Galileo never released to the public.
Galileo simply confirmed what other before him that the the sun was the center of the universe, not the Earth. Galileo was threatened by the Catholic Church to be excommunicated. But a close Vatican friend defended him on one condition: to stop talking about his heliocentric idea.
@@jefketheboss4009 yes, because bibles could not be produced so easily. A Bible would have to be written word by word into a new book. Very time consuming and hard to mass produce.
@@billyvalencia6758 Catholics Church FORBIDS the Bible for the public... So tell me why they can sell Bible in latin but not in english? Also Bible was only allowed for priest and not for public... That were the laws.... TRUTH will always be hidden only men with balls search for truth and the rest are talkers....
@@jefketheboss4009 Because Bibles could not be mass produced. The Bibles that were available were incredibly limited so the priests could not just lend them out to just anybody. In fact, the Catholic Church was one of the leading forces in the mass translation and production of Bibles. They understood that the public should have easy access to God's word. And nowadays we do, thanks to technological advances that were not available in the past.

Unbelievable the Vatican waited till 1992 to apologize for their mistake. Just think of the ideas and possibilities had he not been persecuted. 1992 ☹️
@@pznili - ‘Establishment’ and ‘church’ are not synonymous. We, as humans may have a geocentric viewpoint, but (in this solar system) the whole operation is heliocentric.
@@judithgockel1001 well thanks for telling me :) but gale was not defending heliocentric. he was defending Copernicus' heliocentric which of course was completely wrong! because 1- sun IS NOT in the center of universe 2- sun IS NOT immobile 3- the orbit of planets IS NOT a perfect circle 4- universe is endless. 5- there are. no fixed/immobile stars. :) now importance of Copernicus, and of Galileo is enormous, but not because of the precision of their affirmations. galileo was insisting that Copernicus' theory is exact although he could not proof it. church was saying we have no problem teaching about conpernicus' ad a theory but not as a scientifically proofed fact (it is not indeed). Galileo was wrong church was right. and Galileo spent there est of his life in an extravagant villa of his property, which he of course bought with money paid by church when he was teaching in universities opened and financed by church. thats all. Galileo's thing was 19th centuri b-s- propoganda, and difficult relationships Galileo had. actually he made pope urban VI his great friend and supporter ridiculous. and a powerful man ca not afford to be ridiculized publicly. this is the villa where gallileo was ''imprisoned'' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_Il_Gioiello. ah during the process (there were 2 processes, one in 1616 and one in 1632 because galielo was a genius but an egocentric prick too) one of HIS conditions was to have a cook from Tuscany as he could not tollerate Rome's cuisine :)
@@pznili - ‘Helios’ is Greek for Sun. ‘Centric’ means middle, and like many English words, probably derives from Latin. Neither means regularity. As neither means the Copernican theory is precise - seeing we are not yet even sure quite how many planets are in this solar system (the Universe is something a lot bigger, the parameters of which are currently unclear), what a bunch of guys in pointy hats decree - meh.
@@Andreywatchlist what's wrong with that? a lot of atheist scientist also incorporating their belief in science. I came from a catholic school we have the best facilities for studying science our religion is never an obstacle to our scientific studies. teachers are priest a Nuns amazing at discussing their fields.
the fact that you think nothing is wrong says that you are part of the problem ⚠️. Science is the study of the universe where we follow the data where ever it may lead not trying to change it so that it fits into a book with when men believed the earth was flat. No one tries to incorporate a belief in science there are just Facts and theories.
@@Andreywatchlist the fact that you are assuming that I thought nothing is wrong is problematic. you assume something that i never stated nor implied. what i'm trying to say is that the church is not anti science that's a fact. did I like the inquisition? personally not.! I wish the church is more open to science back then. but they did established many institution and provide quality education in science and technology to many people that's a fact.
To do good science we need ethical society which religion shaped(Christianity in particular) late but worthy. We learn from our mistakes and yes his death was a sacrifice to expose hypocrisy of church. 4:28 if not just imagine how they say: 1. Religion will fly you to buliding. 2. Science will fly you to moon. And what i say, "Science will fly you to Japan to drop some fat boys". One of greatest atrocity of a human kind ☮️🕊️
it bothers me to no end when people say his theory was just that, a theory... Copernicus would have put forward a hypothesis not a theory, if there is no evidence to support it then it cannot be a theory unless he did mathematical work to support his hypothesis then it could have been a theory. If it is the case that Galileo provided evidence to support the hypothesis then if its shows to be in favor of then it, then it moves up to becoming a theory...theories are supported by evidence, observation, natural law and facts, have explanatory and predicative power. but a word that by and far bothers me more is heresy...
Monotheism was still relatively new at the time. But still the Christians would've known all that if they didn't go around killing clergy members of civilizations that came before them and burning down libraries that held over a thousands years of human history, achievements and the knowledge they had about the universe, the planet, lost civilizations and ancient methods... They didn't want to learn or save people from their sins they were just a bunch of selfish, thieving dogs
Timekeeping led to the 9 to 5 job the obsession with the work ethic (with the help of protestant ideals) and the enslavement of the ordinary man. It also slowly improved our mean standard of living.
@@raydavison4288 Well He was very old already, he did not spend a decade under house arrest, he just lived the rest of his life there. And while most people being burned at stake, like the "witches" was a phenomenon that came up with the rise of protestantism.
If you love Galileo so much you would love Ibn Shatir even more, he's one of the influences on Galileo, but I'm sure you wouldn't care. Your channel is heavily western-oriented that disregards some of the greatest minds in science outside the western world. The inventor of the scientific method is Ibn Al-Haytham, an Arab scientist in the midst of the Islamic Golden Age. His innovation in the scientific method would change history forever. He influenced many scientists in the Renaissance and before, most notably legendary figure Roger Bacon.
Galileo was actually condemned to death by the church, he was to be--beheaded. The ONLY reason he was condemned to "life" was he had ONE choice-- he was to RECANT --PUBLICLY and he did in 2 different public gatherings in Florence! He did not want to recant and it WAS the INFLUENCE of other friends were were scientist from University of Pisa AND University of Bologna who begged to recant. They convinced him; he could KEEP and give some of his circle of scientific friends his manuscripts and logs -- for safe keeping; this way he would be able to KEEP his PROOF and this information would STILL SPREAD! During his "house arrest" scientists visitors posed as relatives, they continued to have many talks and learned how Galileo's Logs were to be used as proof---so THEY kept spreading the knowledge-- this made it worth saving his OWN life.
Venus going around the sun (solar system) I understand. It was observed. . . . but putting earth in the solar system is still confusing to me. The experiments are from earth right? They saw the plannets in the sky , not including earth, revolving around the sun. Ok. . . so how is earth being in that a part of the conclusion? I understand why some of these guys were challenged like they were. Pretty much like the catholic church's debates on gay marriage now days.

Urban did not appreciate being called an idiot in print, and had Galileo brought up before the Inquisition. The official charge was heresy, the actual offense was lèse majesté. Henry VIII had people executed for insulting him. Louis XIII of France would have locked him up and thrown the key away.
He also did not drop anything off the Leaning Tower. He rolled balls of different weights down an inclined plane.
Get your facts straight.
I love this work and hope to be a great astronomer like him one day
He was not. His contemporary Kepler was a great astronomer. And learn about Eratosthenes too.
Great Video!
The scientific community rejected Galileo because he went against religion and stated the Earth was not the center of the universe.
The scientific community is rejecting me because I state the "Big Bang" was our universe turning itself into a gargantuan particle collider going against the religious "Big Bang" theory. I feel his pain. Luckily, I can't be arrested for stating my views.
I just wonder how science and religion can be different and contracdictory when both claim to know the secrets of the universe!! Shouldnt there be a singular truth explaining everything? Religion is nothing but the homo sapien way of making cosmic theories into mythological stories! Yet how can it be contradictory!
Galileo didnt go against religion, those orthodox creatures of that era went against humanity!!
"rejected Galileo because he went against religion and stated the Earth was not the center of the universe."
First of all that was not a dogma or an infallible statement, he while not wrong, could not prove it, he was friends with the pope.
As one man said above
"He constantly feuded with the Jesuits.(at the time, the equivalent of the current scientific establishment) and took every opportunity to make them look bad. This, of course did not make him any friends. The straw that broke the camel’s back was when Galileo published his “Dialogue on the Ebb and Flow of the Sea” as a dialog between three people, one of them being “Simplicio” (a clever but veiled insult) who held the Aristotelian viewpoint. Galileo stupidly put one of the ideas that pope Urban had earlier expressed in the mouth of Simplicio. The Jesuits, when they read this, were only too happy to point it out to the pope."
Also read this "which appeared to attack Pope Urban VIII and thus alienated both the Pope and the Jesuits, who had both supported Galileo up until this point."
"In 1741, Pope Benedict XIV authorised the publication of an edition of Galileo's complete scientific works"
" All traces of official opposition to heliocentrism by the church disappeared in 1835 when these works were finally dropped from the Index.[220][221]
Interest in the Galileo affair was revived in the early 19th century, when Protestant polemicists used it (and other events such as the Spanish Inquisition and the myth of the flat Earth) to attack Roman Catholicism."
In short, He was not against religion, while not perfect as he had children outside of marriage, he was noted to be pious and catholic. His trial of him being suspected of heresy did not end in him being trialed for heresy. He is buried in a catholic basilica.
In short, no he was not againts Religion, he was just slandering the patrons of science, who so happened to be clergy.
Such great work with your videos!
Science is not just a body of knowledge. It is a way of thinking. It is a way of skeptically interrogating the cosmos.
CARL SAGAN.
It's just trying to figure stuff out. 😕
Skeptical? Many assumptions are made by observations lol
Philosophy is more skeptical
Great video. I do have some criticisms though. First, the Pisa experiment was a thought experiment not an empirical one. Second, Pope Urban VIII had been a patron to Galileo and had given him permission to publish on the Copernican theory as long as he treated it as a hypothesis, but after the publication in 1632, the patronage broke due to Galileo placing Urban's own arguments, which sided with the scientific consensus view at the time, in the mouth of a simpleton character named "Simplicio" in the book and this caused great offense to the Pope VIII.
Also, Observations that favored the heliocentric model over the geocentric model were lacking and not obvious at the time of Galileo's trial in the early 1600s. Direct evidence supporting heliocentrism had to wait for the emergence of Newtonian mechanics in the late 17th century, the observation of the stellar aberration of light by James Bradley in the 18th century, the analysis of orbital motions of binary stars by William Herschel in the 19th century, and the accurate measurement of the stellar parallax in the 19th century. According to physicist Christopher Graney, Galileo's own observations did not actually support the Copernican heliocentric view, but were more consistent with Tycho Brahe's hybrid model where the Earth did not move, and everything else circled around it and the Sun.
Source: Wikipedia-> Galileo affair
Yep. The issue was that he was putting forward a scientific hypothesis that had inadequate evidence. He was notoriously narcissistic and wanted to be known as being greater than Aristotle. A smart man, yes, but completely conceited and it was his direct mocking of the pope that actually got him in trouble.
@@StephensCrazyHour That is true. Although, if you ask me I wouldn't change that event as Galileo did set the foundation of modern astronomy. I would instead focus more on the new atheists spewing off these polemics and change the way the public views the relationship between science and religion.
Pope Urban VIII waged war badly in the 30 years war. He was not well liked and was probably very insecure. The Church handled the affair terribly, but it was Cardinals of the Inquisition, who imprisoned and threatened the 70yr old Galileo with torture- which frankly was pathetic.
There were even warnings that if the heliocentric model proved correct in the future, the Church's reputation would suffer. As in everything it seems, Galileo was right, and the Church has been perceived as bigoted ever since.
@@outofoblivionproductions4015 Urban's intolerance is a red herring. Also, Cardinal Bellarmine openly stated that if Galileo was right the church would accept heliocentrism. Galileo was never tortured. However, the pope decreed that the interrogation should stop short with the mere threat of torture. This was a routine kind of limitation for people of advanced age and ill health like Galileo, and it should not be attributed to the influence of the scientist's supporters.
The only reason this conflict thesis has prevailed is because the enlightenment polemicists and sagan didn't bother to cross check their stories.
@@Ryan-ii8xo Ground-breakers and saints in the Church have often been persecuted. Galileo was a great thinker, and suffered at the hands of lesser minds. It is not the right attitude to dismiss how the Church persecuted him. Humans err, and the Church stuffed up on this occasion, and has suffered the bad reputation, for it. But humans stuff up all the time. It's not unusual, but normal actually.
Watch astronaut David Scott drop a hammer and feather at the same time on the moon proves Galileo is WAY ahead of his time.
No he wasn't. Kepler was his contemporary. Eratosthenes was thousands of years ago.
So according to that aryabhaata was also way ahead of its time? Cause he belived the earth to be bhugol ....bhu means land and gol means round
3:00 While the geocentric model was the "official position" of the Church, it was not dogma, or an infallible judgement of the Pope. The Church believes it cannot err on teaching faith and morals - the dogma of the Church - however, it's bureaucratic and general rules can be erroneous, as this one was.
🎯👌✌🙉🙈🙊Wise One You Are Out Of Oblivion One.
Galileo did a groundbreaking and church shattering discovery.
Please make a video on psychologists like Sigmund Freud.
Interesting video! Although Aristarchus was the first to propose the Heliocentric model during ancient Greek times. It's a shame lots of physics from that era was lost or forgotten about for centuries as they were clearly way ahead of their time.
Eratosthenes
4:33 can anyone tell me what this letter is or any information to find it online
I love your videos ❣️
Bro this is dope
Watched and liked, thanks!
"You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself." Galileo Galilei
Instead of honouring him for the great discovery, how sad , he suffered even in his old age..,😒
Sometimes, you need to turn your modern telescopes to the past to learn more for the present.
This is very impressive documentary. My loveable types 💝
Distance object uppear closer or closer object to uppear far..Camera lens adjustment
I hope people start honouring people when they are alive not after they are dead. For speaking the truth he was being house arrest. And later honoured when dead. What an irony!!!
Religion is a big tool to this, he was ahead of his time. He believed in God , but they limited themselves then. Politics was also involved. Great topic as always 👍🏽.
He was narcissistic and was unwilling or unable to gather sufficient evidence to overturn the scientific consensus of the day. He resorted instead to insulting the pope. The myth around him was just that - a myth.
Excellent video
Galileo might have burnt at the stake if he wasn't earlier friends with the man who became pope. In the Vatican legend has it there is a black library. Within may be writings and drawings by Galileo never released to the public.
What's the background music?
It's called Gymnopedie
"And yet, it moves." - Galileo Galilei
@jlshoem beside the fact he NEVER said that :)
@@pznili We really don't know. It was a very long time ago and I'm sure no one was taking notes of what was being said.
Galileo simply confirmed what other before him that the the sun was the center of the universe, not the Earth. Galileo was threatened by the Catholic Church to be excommunicated. But a close Vatican friend defended him on one condition: to stop talking about his heliocentric idea.
Catholic Curch even forbids Bible for the public in the old days...
@@jefketheboss4009 yes, because bibles could not be produced so easily. A Bible would have to be written word by word into a new book. Very time consuming and hard to mass produce.
@@billyvalencia6758 Catholics Church FORBIDS the Bible for the public... So tell me why they can sell Bible in latin but not in english? Also Bible was only allowed for priest and not for public... That were the laws.... TRUTH will always be hidden only men with balls search for truth and the rest are talkers....
@@jefketheboss4009
Because Bibles could not be mass produced. The Bibles that were available were incredibly limited so the priests could not just lend them out to just anybody. In fact, the Catholic Church was one of the leading forces in the mass translation and production of Bibles. They understood that the public should have easy access to God's word. And nowadays we do, thanks to technological advances that were not available in the past.
Meanwhile Galileo's contemporary Kepler mathematically modelled planetary orbits. And thousands of years earlier there was Eratosthenes.
Don't use negative titles for such good videos
.
Agreed, we should hide the truth if it doesn't suit our narrative.
& we still have flat earth theory people...
We have the new 'ball earth' theory people too😂 look up long distance infrared photography, then look up the amount of drop due to curvature of the earth per sq mile, then when you realize nasa's math isn't adding up go ahead and look up their reasoning, i'll give you a hint (mirages) 🤣🤣🤣
Unbelievable the Vatican waited till 1992 to apologize for their mistake. Just think of the ideas and possibilities had he not been persecuted. 1992 ☹️
*_" Blind belief in authority is the greatest enemy of truth "_*
excellent video
He destroyed the notion of pilot-orbit.
Yeah. They'll kill him.

Yayy ; @newsthink you literally heard me 😮😮😮😮😮❤️❤️
The discovery was not the problem; the establishment’s viewpoint was the problem.
@judithgockel1001 and what discovery? Galileo was wrong church was right
@@pznili - ‘Establishment’ and ‘church’ are not synonymous. We, as humans may have a geocentric viewpoint, but (in this solar system) the whole operation is heliocentric.
@@judithgockel1001 well thanks for telling me :) but gale was not defending heliocentric. he was defending Copernicus' heliocentric which of course was completely wrong! because 1- sun IS NOT in the center of universe 2- sun IS NOT immobile 3- the orbit of planets IS NOT a perfect circle 4- universe is endless. 5- there are. no fixed/immobile stars. :) now importance of Copernicus, and of Galileo is enormous, but not because of the precision of their affirmations. galileo was insisting that Copernicus' theory is exact although he could not proof it. church was saying we have no problem teaching about conpernicus' ad a theory but not as a scientifically proofed fact (it is not indeed). Galileo was wrong church was right. and Galileo spent there est of his life in an extravagant villa of his property, which he of course bought with money paid by church when he was teaching in universities opened and financed by church. thats all. Galileo's thing was 19th centuri b-s- propoganda, and difficult relationships Galileo had. actually he made pope urban VI his great friend and supporter ridiculous. and a powerful man ca not afford to be ridiculized publicly. this is the villa where gallileo was ''imprisoned'' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_Il_Gioiello. ah during the process (there were 2 processes, one in 1616 and one in 1632 because galielo was a genius but an egocentric prick too) one of HIS conditions was to have a cook from Tuscany as he could not tollerate Rome's cuisine :)
@@pznili - ‘Helios’ is Greek for Sun. ‘Centric’ means middle, and like many English words, probably derives from Latin. Neither means regularity. As neither means the Copernican theory is precise - seeing we are not yet even sure quite how many planets are in this solar system (the Universe is something a lot bigger, the parameters of which are currently unclear), what a bunch of guys in pointy hats decree - meh.
The problem was the insulting of the Pope. You didn't insult state leader in that era. They weren't really mad about science
I'm speechless when I think of how far humanity would have come if wasn't oppressed my religious ideas it's just breaks my heart
agree as Catholic i'm suddened by this but the Catholic built many learning instituions around the world big universities including my alma matter
I'm pretty sure that their intention wasn't just spreading knowledge but incorporating religion into schools
@@Andreywatchlist what's wrong with that? a lot of atheist scientist also incorporating their belief in science. I came from a catholic school we have the best facilities for studying science our religion is never an obstacle to our scientific studies. teachers are priest a Nuns amazing at discussing their fields.
the fact that you think nothing is wrong says that you are part of the problem ⚠️. Science is the study of the universe where we follow the data where ever it may lead not trying to change it so that it fits into a book with when men believed the earth was flat. No one tries to incorporate a belief in science there are just Facts and theories.
@@Andreywatchlist the fact that you are assuming that I thought nothing is wrong is problematic. you assume something that i never stated nor implied. what i'm trying to say is that the church is not anti science that's a fact. did I like the inquisition? personally not.! I wish the church is more open to science back then. but they did established many institution and provide quality education in science and technology to many people that's a fact.
Galileo is very influential not gonna lie, poor dude having to have to suffer/
I read the title as "Why Galileo Galilei got locked up in fort nite"
What's the name of the song?
Posthumously awarded just like Tesla💎💎💎
When is Jensen Huang video coming
If the earth is flat, we can see the end with the help of telescope. Because we can see moon so far and other planets.
Things on horizon vanish, the moons not far away though.
Irrelevant, but ok.
Fun fact: Galileo's full name is Galileo Figaro Magnifico.
Academia and Archeology are still guilty of these slurs which ruin careers.
Can you make a video of Martin skhreli
To do good science we need ethical society which religion shaped(Christianity in particular) late but worthy.
We learn from our mistakes and yes his death was a sacrifice to expose hypocrisy of church. 4:28
if not just imagine how they say:
1. Religion will fly you to buliding.
2. Science will fly you to moon.
And what i say, "Science will fly you to Japan to drop some fat boys".
One of greatest atrocity of a human kind ☮️🕊️
In 'chasm' 3:42, 'ch' is pronounced like a hard 'k.' Nice channel.

Interesting video
I sometimes wonder how the world would be if these guys lived in this day & age
What does this proves, It was the religion belief who stopped this great person to research more and serve humanity.
Loved it
thanks for making me pay for curiosity Stream at this cheaper price Hi5
Look at :
The power without science and ...
The science without power!
This is why science over religion, period.
how? are you stupid? Galileo believed in God and he knows Religion over science so?
"There is One who dwells above the CIRCLE OF THE EARTH ". Isaiah 40 v 22.
Why do you think it necessary to dumb down the video?
Pendulum may only work if construction companies don't play gme with earth magnetism density
6:01 telescoops :skull:
We learn from history that we do not learn from the history
it bothers me to no end when people say his theory was just that, a theory...
Copernicus would have put forward a hypothesis not a theory, if there is no evidence to support it then it cannot be a theory unless he did mathematical work to support his hypothesis then it could have been a theory.
If it is the case that Galileo provided evidence to support the hypothesis then if its shows to be in favor of then it, then it moves up to becoming a theory...theories are supported by evidence, observation, natural law and facts, have explanatory and predicative power.
but a word that by and far bothers me more is heresy...
What is central point.....
i love this but at about 5.59 mins she says " tele scoop " instead of telescope.
Even some of creation we dont understand. Since the beginning of the world. Things are kept hidden.
We dont understand
And we want to find much
People knew this thousands of years before
Eratosthenes
Monotheism was still relatively new at the time. But still the Christians would've known all that if they didn't go around killing clergy members of civilizations that came before them and burning down libraries that held over a thousands years of human history, achievements and the knowledge they had about the universe, the planet, lost civilizations and ancient methods... They didn't want to learn or save people from their sins they were just a bunch of selfish, thieving dogs
Timekeeping led to the 9 to 5 job the obsession with the work ethic (with the help of protestant ideals) and the enslavement of the ordinary man. It also slowly improved our mean standard of living.
Galileo was lucky not to have been 🔥 burned at the stake.
Because he works for the Church? And burning people are meant for saints.
He was not lucky, the inquisition found him not guilty of any heresy.
@@NEY-uu3lx: Galileo was found guilty of a "stong suspicion of heresy", a lesser charge & he was sentenced to "House arrest" for the rest of his life.
@@raydavison4288 Well He was very old already, he did not spend a decade under house arrest, he just lived the rest of his life there.
And while most people being burned at stake, like the "witches" was a phenomenon that came up with the rise of protestantism.
@@NEY-uu3lx 🤣
You could argue planets are the leftover debris from star formation, possibly a failed binary system.
If you love Galileo so much you would love Ibn Shatir even more, he's one of the influences on Galileo, but I'm sure you wouldn't care. Your channel is heavily western-oriented that disregards some of the greatest minds in science outside the western world. The inventor of the scientific method is Ibn Al-Haytham, an Arab scientist in the midst of the Islamic Golden Age. His innovation in the scientific method would change history forever. He influenced many scientists in the Renaissance and before, most notably legendary figure Roger Bacon.
I'm gonna do research on him
agree
Maybe Eratosthenes was earlier.
💣
Me….me! Me….me! Me…..Figaro! Magnifico…oh,oh,oh!!
See what I did there?
I like to believe a Telescoope is a long Telescope
Galileo was actually condemned to death by the church, he was to be--beheaded. The ONLY reason he was condemned to "life" was he had ONE choice-- he was to RECANT --PUBLICLY and he did in 2 different public gatherings in Florence! He did not want to recant and it WAS the INFLUENCE of other friends were were scientist from University of Pisa AND University of Bologna who begged to recant. They convinced him; he could KEEP and give some of his circle of scientific friends his manuscripts and logs -- for safe keeping; this way he would be able to KEEP his PROOF and this information would STILL SPREAD! During his "house arrest" scientists visitors posed as relatives, they continued to have many talks and learned how Galileo's Logs were to be used as proof---so THEY kept spreading the knowledge-- this made it worth saving his OWN life.
And thus the Power if Internal Politics was born. Read between the lines.
I bet he acted like an angel and dressed like crazy
Nothings deadlier than the truth.
Now there are theories and practicals proving that the earth is actually flat.
Subsequently his observations were proved correct. But unnecessarily imprisoned him by the Catholic Church confined him in his house till death.
Subsequently? Kepler was Galileo's contemporary and far more advanced. Eratosthenes was thousands of years earlier.
Nope he didn't give Kepler's model a chance
I know this of course 😮😮
Venus going around the sun (solar system) I understand. It was observed. . . . but putting earth in the solar system is still confusing to me. The experiments are from earth right? They saw the plannets in the sky , not including earth, revolving around the sun. Ok. . . so how is earth being in that a part of the conclusion? I understand why some of these guys were challenged like they were. Pretty much like the catholic church's debates on gay marriage now days.
