∙ 12y agoGalileo was punished by house arrest. He supported the idea of Copernicasim. They were going to put him into life imprisonment, but because of his old age, house arrest was the best option.

∙ 11y agoHe was punished because he opposed to what the Vatican said. At the time the church believed that the Earth was the center of the universe and that the rest of the planets orbited around it, but Galileo believed that the Sun was the center of the universe and that everything else orbited around it.

∙ 11y agoGalileo was put on trial for heresy because he claimed against the Vatican's instructions that the Sun is in fact at the centre of the solar system (the heliocentric theory), which contradicted the Church's teaching at that time.
The Church had given Galileo, a noted astronomer, permission to teach the heliocentric theory of Copernicus as a modelling aid in calculating the positions of the planets, but forbade him to assert that the Sun is in fact at the centre. He persisted in the claims until he was put on trial, but in the trial no convincing evidence for the heliocentric theory was produced and Galileo recanted.
Convincing evidence came later when science had advanced to an understanding of the law of gravity and the laws of motion. Then it was realised that the Sun is many times more massive than the planets and therefore it made sense to place the Sun at the centre, in truth and not just in a mathematical model. The Church's teaching was updated in view of this overwhelming scientific evidence.
The important distinction in this damaging quarrel was the difference between scientific observation and modelling on one hand, and theological truth on the other. We all accept now that the Sun is at the centre and it is difficult to 'think back' to 1600 when science did not have all the answers that we have today.

∙ 10y agoIn 1616, Galileo Galilei had agreed not to promote the ideas of Copernicus. In 1632, Galileo published A Dialogue of Two World Systems , a dialogue amongst three people, discussing the "merits" of both the heliocentric and the geocentric systems. The person supporting geocentrism was called "Simplicio," and he comes across as silly as his name would imply.
Galileo's defense was that his book was not pro-Copernicus, but only a discussion of all ideas. His words fooled no one, and in 1633 he was accused of, tried for, and found guilty of "holding as true the false doctrine taught by some that the sun is the center of the world."
