Galileo Galilei challenged traditional views primarily through his support for the heliocentric model, which posited that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun, contradicting the geocentric beliefs held by the Church and Aristotle for centuries. He also employed the scientific method and made significant advancements in observational astronomy using a telescope, which allowed him to gather empirical evidence that contradicted established doctrine. His findings, such as the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus, undermined the traditional Aristotelian worldview and ultimately led to his conflict with the Church. Thus, Galileo's work marked a pivotal shift towards modern science, emphasizing observation and experimentation over adherence to established authority.
