Galileo

Sectionalism affects the population of the United States based on the majority of American citizens only concerned with what goes on within the American borders, or what happens to citizens of the United States, whether they are here or abroad. Some believe we should not involve ourselves in matters that seemingly have nothing to do with the United States.

The first digital thermometer was invented in 1964 by Arthur Pollack at the National Physical Laboratory in the United Kingdom. It was a significant advancement over traditional mercury thermometers due to its accuracy and ease of use.

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!

He asserted that the biblical teaching which has the Earth at the centre of the universe is not in fact correct. The church took this as a direct challenge to its authority and declared it a heresy.

Galileo was forced to recant after he could not produce evident to support his assertions, but in subsequent centuries after many further scientific discoveries the heliocentric theory, with the Sun at the centre, became universally accepted.

Galileo is a person, not a place.

It seems to be getting along quite well without him.

Galileo. He taught that the earth revolves around the sun which is true but authorities felt the earth was the center of the universe because God created it, so the sun must revolve around the earth.

Galileo Galilei first recorded phases in Venus in 1610, and published his findings in 1613.

Galileos discovery of those moons led people to realise that not everything in the universe moves round the Earth. It raised the question of whether the Sun travels round the Earth or not.

A hundred years after Galileo's time, scientific discoveries were making it increasingly clear that the Sun is at the centre of the solar system.

Please do not answer if you are quessing. I see many wrong answers on this site. Galileo does not have mercury in it. It is water and a light weight petroleum mixure. Also, glass thermometers no longer have mercury.

Galileo Galilei started to become blind, many people believe it is because he was constantly staring through his magnified glasses. He started getting very blind after a while and was not quite able to create the telescope to its full 'destiny' . Anyway, he was able to finish it before he became entirely blind which is a great achievement.

He discovered that they orbit around Jupiter, the first example of anything that did not orbit round the Earth, which lent support to the idea that the Sun might be at the centre of the solar system. After Galileo's lifetime, with further scientific discoveries, this was discovered to be true

many craters, mountains, and what Galileo referred to as 'seas'.

Copernicus put forward a model of the solar system with the Sun at the centre, which was repeated by Galileo. It remained a theory until after further refined theories and observations by Isaac Newton and others showed that the Sun is much more massive than the planets and must therefore stay at the centre.

In the early 1600s the Church still accepted the word of the early theologians that the Earth was the centre of the universe. They were ready to reconsider any alternative ideas provided there was enough evidence.

Copernicus came up with a model that had the Sun at the centre and it seemed to work well in predicting the planets' positions, but it was accepted as only a useful model. Galileo was told he could teach it provided it was understood as a model and not a statement of reality.

Galileo was a forceful character who said he was cleverer than all the cardinals, and he brought out a book describing the heliocentric theory, in which the Pope was portrayed as a simpleton. He was put on trial and asked for evidence that the Sun is at the centre, but at that time there was not sufficient evidence and he retracted.

In the following century science had advanced to a point where it was discovered that the Sun is far more massive than the planets and therefore must be at the centre.

When Galileo observed that the planet Jupiter has moons which are in orbit around the planet, this made it more believable that planets orbit the sun, since it was already established that not everything orbits the Earth, as had previously been believed in the Ptolemaic system.

His ideas went against their beleifs, that the Earth was the center of the universe and he agreed with ideas of Copernicus.

The Church took the Bible literally, and they interpreted a verse that said the Sun stayed still. They said that Copernicus and Galileo where traitors of the bible and condemned them.

Galileo was a prisoner in his home for about 8 years before he died in 1642.

A Galileo thermometer is a thermometer made of a sealed glass cylinder containing a clear liquid and a series of objects whose densities are such that they rise or fall as the temperature changes.

Church officials believed the theory contradicted current religious teachings

When Galileo published his scientific findings about the heliocentric nature of the universe he was

tried and condemned as a heretic by the Roman Catholic Inquisition
