Description
The publication in 1632 of Galileo?s Dialogue on the Two Chief World Systems, Ptolemaic and Copernican marked a crucial moment in the?scientific revolution? and helped Galileo become the?father of modern science?. The Dialogue contains Galileo?s mature synthesis of astronomy, physics, and methodology, and a critical confirmation of Copernicus?s hypothesis of the earth?s motion. However, the book also led Galileo to stand trial with the Inquisition, in what became known as?the greatest scandal in Christendom?
