In today's climate, this should be required reading. A fascinating look at human nature and the power and politics of religion.
the earth circles the sun, then one would have to proceed with great care in explaining the Scriptures that appear contrary, and say rather that we do not understand them, than that what is demonstrated is false.”. He was also a great proponent of Copernicus’s idea that the Sun was the center of the solar system, not the Earth, which caused him great difficulty with other scientists and the Catholic Church, which believed in a geocentric system.
The strengths here are the author’s ability to point out the discoveries and put them into modern perspective (e.g., discovery of sun spots and how Galileo interpreted them and how we understand them today). Jupiter hosted its own mini-solar system which he termed ‘Medici stars,’ after his Florentine benefactors, moons that are now instead termed the Galilean moons in the astronomer’s honor. He simply assumed the most literal interpretation of those passages, which logically entailed that the astronomical notions implicit in them were authoritatively taught by scripture and hence “matters of faith,” which in turn required (by the Trent decree) that one follow the fathers in interpreting them literally. Saturn seemed to have two tiny ‘handles,’ appendages which must have confounded Galileo. This new view of the Universe also convinced Galileo of the reality of the Copernican view, that the Sun and not the Earth was the center of the Solar System and the Universe. This book is ok, although the time it spends on his actual trial is brief.
Interesting, well-written narrative of Galileo's travails with religion.
Reality is messier than than fiction that reduces historical figures like Hillary Clinton to the sum of her most oversimplified virtues and vices. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2016/nasa-scientist-suggests-possible-link-between-primordial-black-holes-and-dark-matter May 5th 2020 Mario Livio never disappoints. Sadly relevant to our current situation. This event still has implications for faith in context with science that echo even today: the Church only reexamined the trial of Galileo in the mid-20th century, and reassessed its view in 1992. Galileo was the first ‘publish or perish’ astronomer.
Galileo did have proof, from his telescopic discoveries, that the 15-century-old geocentric theory of Ptolemy was wrong.
https://www.amazon.com/Universe-Today-Ultimate-Viewing-Cosmos/dp/1624145442/, Audio Podcast version: Even more impressive perhaps, given that he is not Catholic, is his relatively sophisticated grasp of some of the theological arguments and issues. Mario Livio: One reason is that all the existing biographies of Galileo, at least the serious biographies, were written mostly by science historians or science writers. This is a solid biography. https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.01620 He is the author of the bestsellers The Golden Ratio, Brilliant Blunders, and Galileo.
He is the best-selling author of The Golden Ratio, Brilliant Blunders, and Galileo, and has published more than 400 scientific articles, significantly contributing to topics ranging from cosmology, supernova explosions, and black holes to extrasolar planets and the emergence of life in the universe. . Why am I being asked to create an account? Galileo’s telescope, he notes, was the multi-great-grandfather of the Hubble Space Telescope.
Matter and energy compressed into a region so dense that the escape velocity exceeds the speed of light. And finally, he does a good job describing the hot water that he did get into with the Church and what actually transpired and its aftermath.
Fortunately, Mario Livio is fully equipped for the task. Bellarmine rejected this, however, using a circular argument. Please contact us at members@americamedia.org with any questions.

Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. Galileo didn’t even invent the telescope, and wasn’t the very first person to turn it skyward; instead, he was the first observational astronomer to peer through the eyepiece and attempt to methodically interpret and document what he saw. 3.7 - The NPR interview made it sound like Mario Livio was going to juxtapose the Catholic Church's vehement opposition of Galileo's discoveries to current day science and climate deniers. The Moon’s surface, it turned out, was not smooth and perfect like Aristotle had once held it to be, but mottled with flat maria, craters and mountains. This model was completely consistent with all the observations of that time.
