Copernicus and the trial of Galileo .

During the Middle Ages, there were many theories about the Scientific things and also religion, and a whole bunch of stuff. But it was mainly about the Scientific knowledge Vs. the Catholic Church. There was two theories about geocentric and heliocentric. Heliocentric is about how the sun is the center of the universe and geocentric is a theory about the opposite. Geocentric was how the earth was the center and the other planets were around it.


The theory that came first was the heliocentric was found by Copernicus, around the early 1500's, but was restricted because of the Catholic church. I think the correct theory is the heliocentric, the sun is the one centering us. Since most of these events came from the Renaissance Both came out the scientific revolution. There was many new ideas during this age. Like inventions, teachings and even beliefs. That's where religion kicks in and didnt like the scientific teachings.

The trial of Galileo was about the the Scientific Knowledge vs. the Catholic church. He was put on trial because of what his theory and what he believed him. The Catholic church obviously didn't like his idea for many reasons. They didn't want his theory to overtake the society at that time. Most people are starting convert and it was all a mess in that society. Many arrests was taken place.

Galileo Galilei was a scientist who studied a lot about the solar system and he wanted to teach it publicly, and the Pope Urban VIII totally disagreed with it and had him arrested till death. But a few years later, the Pope John II agreed with Galileo's idea and said it was wrong of putting him on arrest. They had proof that the earth wasnt the center of the universe and Galileo was correct.
