That it wasn't the earth that was the center of the solar system but the sun. He tried to explain his theory to the catholic churches but they didn't want to hear it for they didn't like his theory. This caused a contradiction and Galileo was sent to house arrest. He had to publicly say that he was wrong. But Galileo knew he was right and until the day he died he never had a doubt. It was much later that he was proven right.
