Galileo's support for the heliocentric theory (note that this is Copernicus's theory, not Galileo's) got him into trouble with the Roman Catholic Church. In 1633 the Inquisition convicted him of heresy and forced him to recant (publicly withdraw) his support of Copernicus. They sentenced him to life imprisonment, but because of his advanced age allowed him serve his term under house arrest at his villa in Arcetri outside of Florence.

AddendumHeliocentrism is the theory that the Sun is at the center of the Solar System as opposed to geocentrism, the Church supported theory which put the Earth at the center of the Solar System. Gravitation(improved)Galileo also added the study of Gravitation of twenty objects. One set of ten were the very light things and the other ten were the heavy pair. The people thought that the heavy pair would fall first but instead they fell at the same time!!! So this is the proof or that the gravity is even.

Are organisms Teleological or Mechanistic?

Organisms are typically viewed as mechanistic in modern biological science, meaning that their behavior and development are governed by physical and chemical processes rather than a predetermined teleological purpose or goal. While some argue that teleological explanations can be useful in certain contexts, the mainstream scientific understanding of organisms emphasizes mechanistic processes.

The concept that on the grandest of scales the universe is similar in appearance everywhere is?

The concept you are referring to is known as the cosmological principle, which states that the universe is homogeneous (same in all locations) and isotropic (looks the same in all directions) on large scales. This principle forms the basis for our understanding of the large-scale structure of the universe and is a key assumption in cosmology.


Why universe destroyed?

The universe is not destroyed, but rather it is constantly evolving and changing. The destruction of the universe is a theoretical concept that is often discussed in the context of scientific theories such as the Big Crunch or the Heat Death of the universe, but these scenarios are not guaranteed to happen.


Who revolutionized the concept of the universe with theories of special and general activity?

Albert Einstein revolutionized the concept of the universe with his theories of special and general relativity. These theories redefined our understanding of space, time, and gravity, providing a new framework for interpreting the cosmos.

What is God called the belief in a mechanistic universe fashioned by a creator?

A deity that supposedly set the universe in motion and then conceptually walked away from it is described by the term Deism.
