PPT-Galileo and The Telescope

Grinding and Polishing Lens to form a focused image through a tube Need some knowledge of optics provided by The Muslim World The Telescope His little telescope was poorer than even a cheap modern amateur telescope but what he observed in the heavens rocked the very foundations of Aristotles universe and the theologicalphilosophical worldview that it supported It is said that what Galileo saw was so disturbing for some officials of the Church that they refused to even look through his telescope they reasoned that the Devil was capable of making anything appear in the telescope so it was best not to look through it.

Galileo Galilei was born in Pisa, Italy on February 15, 1564. He was the oldest of seven children. ..

A . cultural movement of intellectuals in the 17th and 18th centuries, which began first in Europe and later in the American colonies. Its purpose was to reform the way of thinking using reason, challenge related to tradition and faith, and advance knowledge through the scientific method. It promoted scientific thoughts, skepticism and intellectual interchange and completely opposed any kind of superstition. Adapted from presentation by Chuck Patterson, Cheyenne, WY, HS teacher.

Mainly religious and theological. Political theory was based on “Divine Right of Kings”. Society governed by Church views, traditions, practices. The modern understanding of the notorious 1633 trial of Galileo is that of Science and Reason persecuted by Ignorance and Superstition—of Galileo as a lonely, courageous freethinker oppressed by a reactionary and anti-intellectual institution fearful of losing its power and influence. But is this an accurate picture? In his provocative reexamination of one of the turning points in the history of science and thought, Wade Rowland contends that the dispute concerned an infinitely more profound question: What is truth and how can we know it? Rowland demonstrates that Galileo’s mistake was to insist that science—and only science—provides the truth about reality. The Church rejected this idea, declaring that while science is valid, truth is a metaphysical issue—beyond physics—and it involves such matters as meaning and purpose, which are unquantifiable and therefore not amenable to scientific analysis. In asserting the primacy of science on the territory of truth, Galileo strayed into the theological realm, an act that put him squarely on a warpath with the Church. The outcome would change the world. Wade Rowland’s thoughtful exploration promises to disarm the most stubborn of skeptics and make for scintillating debate.
