Because the Catholic doctrine was that Rome was the centre of the universe and all things revolved round it. When Galileo saw the moons of Jupiter orbiting jupiter, this proved that Catholic teaching and beliefs were wrong and if this was wrong, what else about Catholic teaching may be wrong!
What else can I help you with?
Why was Galileos idea considered so unusual at that time?
Beacause people thought that the Earth was the middle of the universe, not the sun.
Why did Galileo believe the heliocentric view of the universe was correct?
Galileo believed the heliocentric view of the universe was correct based on his observations through a telescope, such as the phases of Venus and the moons of Jupiter. These observations provided evidence supporting the idea that the Earth revolved around the Sun, challenging the geocentric view supported by the Catholic Church at the time.
Why do you think the catholic church objected to the galileos theories so strongly?
He was charged with heresy, a serious crime in those days, for contradicting the church's belief that the Earth is at the centre of the Universe. The church said that if there was proof of this idea, they would have to have a rethink. But in court Galileo could produce no proof and he recanted. But later in the 17th century after Galileo's lifetime scientific discoveries led everyone to accept that the Sun is at the centre of the solar system (but not the Universe).
How do recent observations suggest the universe will end?
Charlie Sheen will have a hand in it
What controversy did Galileos work cause?
Galileo's work caused controversy because it challenged the accepted geocentric model of the universe, which placed Earth at the center. His support for the heliocentric model, with the sun at the center, contradicted religious teachings of the time. This led to conflicts with the Catholic Church and Galileo being condemned for heresy.
Wich of galileos theroies where most offensive to the church?
The Theory that the earth was not in the center of the universe.
Galileos observations seemed to indicate that?
the Earth revolves around the Sun, which challenged the geocentric model of the universe. His discoveries also supported the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus. Galileo's observations with the telescope provided evidence for this idea.
What was Leonardo da vinci's struggle?
He had many. The most notable was with the Catholic Church who threatened to torture him if he did not recant his belief that the earth is not the centre of the universe.

What did Galileo Galilei cntribute to the scientific revolution?
Heresy, for one: The Catholic Church threatened to have him ex-communicated for going against the doctrine of the Earth being the center of the Universe. Now THAT'S bold!

How many current theories of the universe began with observations?
Most current theories of the universe, such as the Big Bang theory and the inflationary theory, began with observations of the cosmos, including the cosmic microwave background radiation and the distribution of galaxies. These observations have provided evidence that scientists have used to develop and refine these theories.
Why is the big bang theory importanat?
The Big Bang Theory is important as it is the framework for understanding the Universe. The framework holds observations together and explains new observations.
