Galileo Galilei s character

Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer and a world-renowned physicist. He was born in 1564 in Pisa, northern Italy, and died on January 8, 1642, at the age of 78. He devoted his life to the cause of science, not only leaving us clocks, telescopes and numerous scientific monographs, but also making outstanding contributions to breaking down religious superstitions and scientific prejudices.

Galileo's scientific achievements angered the Pope and his followers, and when Galileo wrote his scientific masterpiece "Dialogue on the Two World Systems", the Church finally showed its ugly face and threw Galileo into prison.

On June 21, 1633, the Inquisition, the royal instrument of Pope Urban VIII, pronounced the verdict against Galileo: "We condemn you to serve your sentence in the prison of the Inquisition, the term of which is under our control, and for the benefit of penance, you are commanded to recite seven Psalms of Atonement every week for the next three years......This nonsense has wronged Galileo for more than 300 years, and he has not revoked the verdict until his death, and even after his death, he was forbidden to hold a funeral and not be buried in the cemetery of Santa Tekros.

But the truth is irresistible. In 1989, the Pope of Rome admitted that Galileo had been "wrongly convicted", and later the Pope proposed to retry the case at the World Council of Bishops, rehabilitating Galileo, and finally obtaining a fair verdict in the 347-year-old case of the world's scientific community.

In 1633, Galileo was convicted by the cardinals of the 1616 prohibition, and sentenced him to life imprisonment, which was later commuted to house arrest.

During his house arrest, Galileo repeatedly asked Lu to go out for medical treatment, but was not allowed, and in 1637 Galileo was blinded and allowed to live in his son's house the following year. Galileo Galilei died on January 8, 1642, after suffering a high fever and heart palpitations, and his funeral was sloppy and rudimentary, and it was not until the following century that his bones were moved to his hometown cathedral.

In 1737, the monument to Galileo was re-erected and his remains were reburied in the Temple. At the time of the reburial, three fingers and a tooth book were removed from the body. His right middle finger is currently on display in the Galileo Museum in Florence, Italy.

Galileo Galilei (15 February 1564[2] 8 January 1642)[1][3] was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher, and an important figure in the Scientific Revolution. His achievements included improvements to telescopes and the astronomical observations they bringed, as well as support for the Copernican doctrine. Galileo Galilei is known as the "father of modern observational astronomy" [4], "the father of modern physics" [5], the "father of science" [5], and the "father of modern science". [
