Galileo Galilei Get Thrown In Jail

There were many who cited portions of scripture such as Joshua 10:13, which states “So the Sun stood still in the midst of heaven” (Joshua 10:13), and Isaiah 40:22, which states “he that stretcheth out the heavens as nothing, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in.” (Isaiah 40:22), as pieces of holy evidence to refute and definitely disprove the heliocentric theory as truth. However, Galileo could not easily be written off as a rambling, heretical madman either, seeing as his theories were first proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus, who was “not only a Catholic, but a priest and a canon.” (Galileo, Letter to Christina, 2) Even if Galileo was not a respected member of the Church, Copernicus was, and if his theories had originally been proposed by a Catholic canon, then it was harder to dismiss his ideas as heretical. Additionally, Galileo himself frequently offered to present others with evidence of the truth of his theories, stating “to the leading philosophers of the faculty here…I have offered a thousand times of my own accord to show my studies…” (Galileo, Letter to Kepler).

Galileo's condemnation held by the Roman Catholic Church has been regarded as wrong, 350 years after he was charged with heresy. The many years it has taken for the Church to recognize its wrongdoing may have been due to the Church's resistance to admit their misdeed and their need to stand firm on recognizing past beliefs and practices. This unique apology sparsely occurs, with "The Vatican's formal acknowledgement of error...is a rarity in an institution built over centuries on the belief that the Church is the final arbiter in matters of faith," (Cowell 1). After years of contemplating whether or not to publicly announce the rightness of Galileo, the Vatican may have wanted to finally apologize on behalf of the Church to set it straight

Galileo played a major role in the scientific revolution and earned the moniker "The Father of Modern Science."

God is known as the creator of Earth and one who knows everything. However, Galileo’s invention of the telescope has found things our leader did not inform us about Earth. Galileo believed earth was immobile and the sky was unchanging but his invention later proved otherwise. He discovered four moons around Jupiter proving that everything in our Universe did not circle the Earth. The telescope led him to see the rings of Saturn, phases of Venus, sunspots, and stars in the Milky Way.

Galileo Galilei invented a telescope.This invention is very important because it could let scientist see stars,the moon and other planets and they could also study on the planet that they see too.before this invention they used glasses but if they didn't have glasses they would use eyeballs.He was born on February 15,1564. He died in January 8,1642.He died by his heart palpitations.He is from Pisa,Italy.He's A thinker because he made lots of other inventions and he had to think of how they work and how to make it work.He is carrying too, by being really nice to people.He is also one last thing which is a risk-taker in two reasons.One is he had to make all of those inventions for the whole world.Two is that he showed people his inventions

The famous scientist I am defending is Galileo Galilei. He is an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher. He is a very accomplished scientist most known for his developments with the telescope, making great discoveries in the field of astronomy. He also created or perfected the scientific method which played a large role in the history of science. My client should be released from prison because he has done nothing wrong, he was merely speaking his mind. Not only that but in many people's opinion he is correct. It is for these reasons that my client, Galileo Galilei is innocent!

Galileo Galilei was born in 1564 in Pisa, Italy. He discovered the rings around Saturn, that the moon has craters, and the telescope. I believe that Galileo should be set free because he wasn't the one who made the moon have craters he was just observing the moon and noticed that moon was not perfect.

There have been many frontiers throughout the Renaissance era. There have been huge accomplishments, especially in the field of science. Yet, none have even come close to the accomplishments of Galileo Galilei. Galileo provided a frontier in history because of his improvements in the field of science, especially physics and astronomy with his inventions and ideas. Galileo was not supported by anyone when he started, but he soon began gaining popularity when he started to prove his theories true and the ones of the past false.

1) What was Galileo’s discontent with Aristotelian mechanics in De Motu? - According to Aristotelian philosophy, he believes that there is no effect without cause; therefore, there is no motion without a force. In this theory, an object that is falling down is known for the force that is cause by the weight and it is pushing down the object; however, the resistance is the medium such as air or water. The objects that fall are looking for their natural place; therefore, large objects contain greater concentrations of heavy elements and it causes them to fall faster than small objects. In fact, Galileo did not believe that all of the large hailstones were falling from farther up in the sky; therefore, he decided to test his own theory and disagree

But, now that he was an astronomer, he wanted to help the Church understand God’s universe, and he wanted to convince the Church of his theories. Galileo had a mission to stop the church from believing in the Earth-centered universe, because he thought that when people found out that he was right, they would question the Church’s knowledge (Swisher 22). But convincing the Church wasn’t easy, because even expert astronomers didn’t know, comprehend, or believe the amount of evidence that Galileo possessed (Swisher 22). Galileo didn’t think that the Bible should be taken exactly; he believed that most of the stuff written in in the Bible was metaphorical (Hakim 110). He also thought that science, reason, and studying God’s creation could be used to comprehend, enhance, and to even interpret the Bible (Hakim 110).

In 1610, Galileo was able to construct a three-power telescope, later refined to ten-powers, without education in optics. This allowed him to discover an imperfect lunar surface, contrary to common belief at the time. Similarly, his 30-power telescope was used to observe the movement of Venus, Jupiter’s moons and the nature of Saturn’s rings to support the Copernican idea of the solar system, first published in “Starry Night,” but later re-punished in “Dialogue of Two World Systems,” which was Galileo’s Copernican ideology argument. As demonstrated, Galileo’s ingenuity and astronomical ambitions and innovations allowed him to make significant astronomical contributions as well as prove the Copernican Solar System

As Barberini, now robed as POPE URBAN VIII, the Inquisitor insists that Galileo’s mathematical charts should be destroyed, warning that if the people start to doubt the Vatican, it won’t be long before they doubt the Gospel.

During this semester, the course has covered many natural philosophers. One of my favorite natural philosopher that we learned about was Galileo Galilei. Galileo himself was a fine example of modern day scientist. He was a physicist, engineer, philosopher, mathematician, and an astronomer. He was basically a modern day scientist.

Due to your belief my client is now in prison. My client made a telescope, in the bible it never states that there were things wrong with a telescope. Galileo Galilei should be set free because with his invention he was able to, see the stars and make things out of them, prove people wrong by showing that planets are not flat and, another inventor used his invention to find out the Earth wasn't the center of the

What Galileo needed was to come up with some sort of device that could make him a tidy profit. A rudimentary thermometer (which, for the first time, allowed temperature variations to be measured) and an ingenious device to raise water from aquifers found no market. He found greater success in 1596 with a military compass that could be used to accurately aim cannonballs. A modified civilian version that could be used for land surveying came out in 1597, and ended up earning a fair amount of money for Galileo. It helped his profit margin that 1) the instruments were sold for three times the cost of manufacture, 2) he also offered classes on how to use the instrument, and 3) the actual toolmaker was paid dirt-poor wages.
