In this video:
On October 31, 1992, the Roman Catholic Church admitted it had been wrong to condemn Galileo Galilei for promoting the Copernican astronomical theory. After a 13 year investigation into the persecution of Galileo that led to his official condemnation in 1633, Pope John Paul II rectified a wrong that forced the Italian astronomer and physicist to live the last years of his life in exile, and worse yet, to recant his proven discoveries to save his hide.

Why are you misrepresenting the history of Galileo?

@andrewprahst2529 3 года назад

A few corrections: Galileo did not have conclusive evidence of the heliocentric model when he began teaching it. He was accused of teaching things that were not confirmed. There were many christians of the time who believed in the heliocentric model, but he tried to teach it even after being told to cease and desist. It wasn't until he was under house arrest that he provided sufficient theory.

@timothyscheidler6365 2 года назад

Slight correction - he was teaching heliocentrism as a fact, whereas it t had not been proven. He was told not to teach it as a fact, but was allowed to teach it as a theory.

A lot of people like Tyson who specialize in one area of study tend to be educated far beyond their intelligence. He’s never invented or contributed any real scientific work to his field, apart from revoking Pluto’s planet designation. He’s listed as a “science communicator” - he’s a good performer and he’s good at presentation, he’s good at collecting funds for scientific research (which, granted, is a noble and important part to play) but he’s rarely involved in any actual research and I just wouldn’t call him a “great” or “educated” person. He’s certainly no da Vinci or Einstein. He’s not even a Sagan or a Feynman.

Galileo was a supremely good debater at arguing for correct scientific analysis (moons around jupiter, spots on the surface of the sun) and, also, supremely good at arguing for completely erroneous scientific analysis (comets were cloudy disturbances in the atmosphere and the tides were caused by the earth sloshing the water as it moved). He said that the moon couldn't pull the water from a distance because that sounded like witchcraft. When other people pointed how wrong his own bad ideas were, he called them idiots and made enemies of them. Not a very diplomatic man that's why no jesuit came to his aid, he had offended most of them. Newton once said, that "tact was the act of making an argument without making enemies" and he was talking about Galileo. Of course, Newton was a total jerk who made enemies of those who couldn't fight back. Leibniz asked for a report from the Royal Society to clear his name after Newton accused him of stealing the idea for the calculus. The President of the Royal society was none other than Newton. When Leibniz died, Newton was quoted as saying, "Ha, hah, hah. I broke his heart". (That's just obscene!) At 86, Newton also said that one of his greatest achievements was dying a virgin; Sheldon Cooper has nothing on Newton in the weird a-hole department. Newton also predicted that the world would end in the year 2060. Watch out! Oh wait, weren't we talking about Galileo?

I love your videos, but you should be clear. In that day, there was a HUGE difference between "convicted of heresy" and "convicted of suspicion of heresy." Had he actually been convicted of heresy, he'd never had left the Vatican. In addition, his 'heresy' wasn't the Copernican model itself, but going against (brazenly I might add) a previous Papal order. In addition, 'Two Worlds' was absolutely a rebuke of the Pope. Galileo was a headstrong and overly arrogant person. It's the general historical belief that he knew exactly what he was doing, but believed he had tacit approval from the Pope because of... I kid you not... a likely clerical error from an earlier Papal document concerning an earlier Vatican investigation.

Love you guys, but you may have missed some important points. First, Copernicus was a monk, and his model was held as a possibility though not widely accepted. Second Galileo made most of his arguments using really poor math and, if I recall correctly, tides. It wasn't his view that was the primary issue, but how he got there. Mostly his house arrest was for calling the pope an idiot and not for the heliocentric model, which others at the time held as true/ a possibility.

It should be worth noting that Martin Luther's Protestant group and other Reformed church are on the rise, including the 30 year war happening at that time, and much of Galileo's finding seems to agree with Johann Kepler's works, who is an ardent Calvinist, also greatly contributed to Galileo's conviction. The reason most of Galileo's books are published in Holland is because it's supported by the Dutch Reformed Church.

Galileo's time in Rome during his Inquisition was in the home of the ambassador, and when he finally was allowed to return to House Arrest in his own home in Florence he was nearly a broken man. As for being good friends with the Pope, not so much as Galileo apparently thought! And certainly not after his Inquisition!

@KarasekUS 6 лет назад

+inisipisTV Except Galileo was celebrated by the Church, including audiences with the pope and enjoyed a career teaching at Catholic universities, where the Copernican theory was being taught for 100 years by that time already, while it was Martin Luther who rejected Heliocentrism as contrary to the Scripture and actually burned an effigy of Copernicus at a stake as a heretic. Protestants also persecuted Rheticus, the protestant mathematician who collaborated with Copernicus on improving the mathematical model of the system. They accused him of being a homosexual and ruined his career, he had to relocate from Wittenberg to Krakow. That was one of the reasons the scientific community of the time rejected Galileo's claims - other models were producing better calculations of positions of planets. And BTW, Copernicus was a Catholic cleric, and was persuaded and commissioned to develop the Heliocentric model by four Catholic bishops, including future pope, to whom he later dedicated the manuscript.

@KarasekUS 6 лет назад

+Lynn Martz Galileo wasn't persecuted because of his views on Heliocentrism, but because he was an asshole, going around and offending people, and alienating his benefactors, including the pope.

While the Council of Trent and the Church's upset over the Reformation/Protestantism movement likely played a big part, if I recall correctly Copernicus had the good sense to not publish until he was about to die. Galileo may have thought his personal relationship with the Pope would give him some leeway. I had not heard that the Pope or anyone else thought that Simplicio could have been interpreted as being the voice for the Pope. Just that with all going on, Galileo went too far in pushing the heliocentric version when the Church had said you can't believe in it.

Giordano Bruno was a lunatic though? I mean his story is tragic, but it's for ending up killed as a result of untreated mental illness. It's unrelated to Trent and Copernicus. Also which canons in Trent were in any way applicable to astronomy? I don't remember reading anything about that in there.

@@dw6528 I didn't expect you to reply with the etymology. The meaning changed over time, but the definition held in the Catholic Church is in the Catechism (CCC 2089): "Heresy is the obstinate post-baptismal denial of some truth which must be believed with divine and Catholic faith, or it is likewise an obstinate doubt concerning the same" (fyi the Catechism is published in Latin, this is the English translation) The conditions then are: - Obstinate: You were confronted, offered to debate it, yet remain stubborn. - Post-baptismal: It's only applicable to Christians - Denial: You openly refuse it. What qualifies? "Truth which must be believed with divine and Catholic faith" refers to something specific we call _dogma._ This includes the Trinity, the Incarnation, the Sacrifice of the Mass, etc. They must be 1. straight from Scripture, or be a necessary consequence of it and 2. declared as such in Council or by the Pope (in limited scenarios). Whatever "holy interpreters of scripture of the time" say DOES NOT matter AT ALL. I can call them idiots all day and still not be a heretic as along as it's not something ACTUALLY defined INFALLIBLY. Really few things qualify as dogma. I can actually refuse the legitimacy of the Bible, yet it's NOT heresy because it's not a dogma.

Correct.

@Vortexfugue 6 лет назад

Would kind of suck if he was not only convicted but also convected as well.

Like any history video, there is a lot of details that are often missed. I read a book on this a while back, and I recall that he had a decree from the pope to publish his works. It was only when a new pope arrived that the decree was not accepted by the church and problems arose with the church. Plus there was other factors as other commenters have pointed out.

@dw6528 2 года назад

Yes - he had a decree to publish a "Neutral" exposition on the subject - in which he was not to appear to contradict the Church's current position. He disobeyed that decree - and argued for a sun-centered Copernican universe which was against the church's current position. It is said that during his inquisition he asked for forgiveness and asked if he could re-write it. He was denied that request. You can check the Catholic Vatican Observatory article on the subject where they acknowledge the sun-centered Copernican universe was considered heresy at that time.

@Thanatos420 6 лет назад

Extreme heat transfer. It's what happens when you get too close to lava. You instantly burst into flames due to convection. Basically, Galileo was deemed a heretic...and thus, tossed into a live volcano apparently. That or microwaved lol.

@gold4963 6 лет назад

Thanatos420 Seriously?

@Thanatos420 6 лет назад

Depends on what you mean by seriously. Was he really tossed into a microwave or volcano? No. Not really. That was a joke. But is that actually how convection works? Basically, yes. In real life, if you got too close to lava, not only would your body burst into flames (without even having to touch it) but all the water in your body would boil instantly from all the heat around you. All of this because of convection (extreme heat transfer) essentially acting as an oven on your body, both inside and out. That part is actually true, yes.

Alex Seguin Actually given the time he was living in he was actually treated nicely. Keep in mind that this is the late middle ages. Only nobles clergy and Kings had anything resembling human rights and most crimes had serve punishment and in some cases they didn't need much of a excuse to kill or torture you.

@zeromailss 6 лет назад

Well, people always thought that they are the center of the universe Nothing new

@jonbowman7686 6 лет назад

Well, from our perspective we *are* the center of the observable universe, so they'd be correct. Other than that you've got a good point.

@edwardrhoads7283 6 лет назад

It is too bad the center of our universe may not even be in our universe much like the center of a balloon is not located on the "universe" on the surface of a balloon

@jonbowman7686 6 лет назад

You're right that there is no center of the entire universe. It could even be infinitely large. But because light travels at a finite speed and the universe has a finite age, there is a center of the _observable_ universe from each person's perspective. But from the universe's "perspective" there is no center. Everything is simply expanding away from each other at a sufficient distance. Also it's interesting that the location of the big bang is everywhere. Everywhere around us is the "point" of space that the big bang happened. We can see that "point" in every section of the sky 14 billion light years away.

@edwardrhoads7283 6 лет назад

I like to use an inflating balloon analogy. The balloon expands and everything seems to move away because the membrane of the balloon is expanding. If you consider the surface of the balloon a "universe" then the center of that universe is not in that universe but in another dimension which is not part of that universe and their universe expands due to an expansion in that same dimension. It is very possible that our universe is a 4 D surface of a 11 D balloon (M-theory) and so the "center" of our universe may not even exist in our universe. It is kind of mind blowing to think of it that way.

video topic idea: Why on earth do they make scented toilet paper?!?!?! You wipe with it and flush it anyway. Also, I have a very small restroom and I dont notice any difference in the scent of the room. Please upvote this so he can see it. Its been bothering me all day!

@Wingedshadowwolf 6 лет назад

Palace Of Decay Well, I haven't bought scented TP, but I could see a use for it. My home is off the grid, so it's hooked up to a septic system. It seems like it needs to be pumped out less when we don't flush the TP, thus there is a trash can in the bathroom for it. I use a small can so it fills up quicker and then gets emptied more often so it doesn't start to stink.

@TheFuhrerOfPop 6 лет назад

thats the thing, though. it is scented but its not a very strong scent at all. you literally have to put your nose right up to the TP to smell anything. id imagine the smell of anything on it would easily make the scent useless
