The Pros And Cons Of Scientists Making A Space Reality Of Galileo

I have always been interested in science, but the hands on experiments have helped me understand and grasp concepts much easier. I recall my first experiment in first grade when the class was given the lima bean sprout experiment, which required students to plant a bean in a paper cup. The purpose of this experiment was to teach us about photosynthesis and practice our observation skills. I recall how others were fascinated about why their sprout grew. I, on the other hand, was more captivated by why the other sprouts did not grow and the factors, which contributed to that outcome. This basic experiment taught me to look at things through different lenses and not always to the most obvious path.

In late 1632, after writing Dialogues on the Two Chief World Systems, Galileo was dictated to go to Rome to be investigated by the Holy Office of the Inquisition. In January 1633, a particularly unhealthy Galileo executed an strenuous travel to Rome. There has been much dispute over the circumstances influencing Galileo’s ordeal. There is also contention over the legitimacy of the statements against Galileo, both in terms of their content and judicial procedure. Specifically, he had been encumbered with educating and advocating the Copernican dogma that believes that the Sun is at the center of the cosmos and that the earth

“Letters on the Solar Spots” was made public in 1613. Copernicus’s theory was openly discussed in this letter (Galilei and Drake, 145). Copernicus proposed than an axis-revolving Earth circumnavigated around the heart of the universe, the Sun (Andrade, 120). Father Lorini, a Dominican friar and professor of ecclesiastical history in Florence, was among the first to criticize Galileo for his Copernican views (Linder). The Copernican theory contravened the belief of the Holy Scripture that the Earth was in the middle of the universe (Andrade, 125). Lorini used Joshua 10:13 and Isaiah 40:22 as support. Joshua 10:13 states that “So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven”. Isaiah 40:22 talks about “the heavens stretched out as a curtain” above “the circle of the earth” (Linder). Galileo’s “Letter to Castelli” in December of 1613 was a reply to the condemnation he received due to his beliefs about the Copernicus theory. Galileo proposed in the letter that certain things in the Scripture were not to be taken literally. This letter only increased the amount of criticism towards Galileo (Andrade, 125). Father Lorini then took the drastic step of getting the Catholic Church involved. Lorini sent an altered copy of “Letter to Castelli” to the Roman Inquisition. Lorini altered the text of the letter to make it appear that Galileo directly pronounced the Scriptures as false. Lorini was not the only enemy of Galileo however. Father Tommasco Caccini was also a staunch opponent of

Galileo’s Influence on Astronomy Galileo has made a vast influence on Astronomy and has molded it into what it is currently. Galileo Galilei was not only an astrologist, but a physicist, mathematician, and philosopher. Galileo received the name “The Father of Modern Science”, he gained it due to his his role in the scientific revolution. Galileo is the one who put together most of experiment theory and mathematics into a common framework which influenced the scientific method. It is widely agreed upon Galileo is the person who utmost shaped modern astronomy into what it is now.

Religion and science have always been conflicting studies. Religion, being based on faith, relies on the supernatural to explain life and being. Science, on the other hand, cannot do this. Scientists need to eliminate the possibility of the unexplainable in order to maintain and control group by which to measure other groups. The unexplainable I refer to are the miracles that are commonplace in all supernatural religions. Galileo lived in a time where church was state. The land was ruled according to the words of the bible, and anyone in opposition would be in contempt. Galileo's scientific findings were therefore strongly shunned by the church. In 1615 Galileo attempted to explain how these findings came to be

According to most sources, Galileo once conducted an experiment in which he dropped 2 balls from the Leaning Tower of Pisa, one heavier and one lighter, and aside from air resistance, both balls reached the ground at about the same time. This, one of the first controlled experiments done in physics, gave Galileo more evidence to contend his

How would you feel if you were the smartest person in the world and put under house arrest? This is exactly how Galileo felt when he made his many discoveries helping to advance astronomy, philosophy, theology and many more. Galileo’s discoveries were all extremely beneficial and helpful which led to even more findings by Galileo. Galileo's lifestyle is what led to his successes in the mathematical and scientific fields considering his father encouraging him to do great things. Galileo’s inventions include the telescope, pendulum clock, thermometer and many other helpful mechanical devices.

The condemnation of Galileo is often viewed as a “war” between science and religion however; this simplistic view often overshadows the complexity of the situation. One of the factors that led to Galileo’s condemnation was his obsession with Copernicanism (planets rotate around the sun) as the actual structure of the Solar System, which seemed to contradict the Catholic authorities interpretation of the Bible. Additionally, atominism, which conflicted with the Church’s Aristotelian explanation for the Eucharist (substance changes but quality does not) would contribute to Galileo’s condemnation. Although warned that promoting Copernicanism would bring serious ramifications, Galileo was blinded by scientific objectivity to the political realities.

Galileo Galilei was a great philosopher, scientist, and mathematician who was born in Florence Italy around Pisa on February 15, 1564 to Vincenzo Galilei, a well-known musician and music theorist, and Giulia Ammannati and died on January 8, 1642 in Arcetri, Italy. Galileo was an Italian astronomer, physicist, engineer, philosopher, and mathematician who played a major role in the scientific revolution during the Renaissance. Galileo is regarded as one of the most famous and influential scientist and philosophers of the renaissance in the 14th century. Galileo invented, discovered, and accomplished many things in many fields of study.

The Trial of Galileo The trial of Galileo is an important event in the history of science. We now know, the Roman Catholic church now recognizes, that Galileo's view was correct. What were the arguments on both sides of the issue as it was unfolding? Search the web for documents that chronicle the trial and discuss briefly the case for and against Galileo in the context of the times in which the trial occurred.

For a moment, let’s consider the changing American Landscape. In order to accomplish this, we have to look at how our landscape has changed both naturally and culturally over time. When describing our current landscape we use words such as urban jungle, the other side of the tracks, mountain folks, lowlands, diverse and high society, but can you image being described as “gentle and primitive.” (Redd, 2012) One can begin discussing this topic by going all the way back to when “The Clovis People” (Bryner, 2007) set foot on American soil, but let’s start a little closer to our time.

The 17th century was full of challenges to the authority of the Catholic Church. Many of these challenges were indirectly related to the Church’s power, as they indicted the Church’s teachings rather than its authority. Those who disagreed with the Church formulated various theories that were oppositional to those of the Church. In 1609,

Explain Galileo’s attempt to make science and religion compatible, with particular reference to methods of justification. How successful is he? Use Kuhn’s notion of incommensurability to investigate Galileo’s attempt to reconcile the propositions of science and religion.

Everyday by David Levithan is a modern romance novel about a person who wakes up in a different body everyday and has been like this for as long as they can remember but cannot figure out the reason for it. ‘A” tries to live as that person for a day without making any changes. However, A has no body of their own.. Because a wakes up in a different body each day, they have no idea where or who they will be the next day except the fact that the person will be the same age as them, sixteen. (as the story progresses, it is clear that A has no gender so that is why I’m using they/them Pronouns) One day A wakes up in the body of a sixteen year old boy named Justin.
