Galileo, one of the most renowned scientist of this time believes in the Copernican theory! This theory was rejected by the Church some years ago, but now Galileo also thinks that the Sun is the centre of the Universe! This scientist is now in the eye of the Inquisition today, in 1611. This Tribunal considers him a heretic and considers his theory absurd.
Some rummors say that Galileo is going to ask Pope Urban VIII to write about the Copernican theory, treating it as a mathematical hypothesis. Probably, he is going to discuss and compare the Ptolemaic and Copernican views.
Other people think that, if he publishes a book rejecting the Ptolemaic theory, he could be punished by the Church. What do you think? How is this story going to end?
We’ll keep you informed!
