Galileo’s Heliocentric Theory and Its Oppression by the Church
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page tutorial language paper discussing the heliocentric theory and the oppression of the Church of this theory and Galileo. Before the time of Copernicus and Galileo in the 16th and 17th centuries, the Church supported the general scientific view that the earth was the center of the universe, also known as the geocentric view. Copernicus theorized that the sun was the center of the universe and the earth and other celestial bodies revolved around it, also known as the heliocentric theory. When doing research with his telescope, Galileo noticed that Jupiter’s moons revolved around Jupiter in a similar pattern expressed by Copernican theory and from that point on, Galileo tried to further heliocentric theories by his publications, letters, dialogues and exhibitions. This eventually lead to his condemnation by the Inquisition as he was charged, sentenced and imprisoned for publicizing works that were contrary to the Scriptures. Although he and all the works of Copernicus were prohibited by the Inquisition and Galileo later died while still a prisoner, his colleagues and friends continued in their support of him and his theories which were later proved a century after his death and recently accepted by the Vatican. Critics were later to conclude that it was not the theories of Galileo that necessarily were rejected by the Church but his insistence upon them as the “absolute truth” which was reserved for the Scriptures.
