Scientific revolution: The Trial of Galileo

The trial of Galileo was a major argument between the theories of the heliosetric theory and the geocetric theory. The geocetric theory states that the Earth is the center of the universe. The heliocetric theory states that the sun is the center of the universe. People back then believed in the geocetric theory especially the christians. Galileo was a astronomer who studied space. He used the scientific method to help him proove his theory about the sun being in the center and not the Earth. Back then it was like a law to believe stuff written on the bible and it was forbidden to go against it. Galileo knew he wasnt wrong so he stood up and stated the heliocetric theory. They thought he was crazy and threw him in jail but went to court. This trial was a big thing because Galileo ended up losing the trial even though he was right.
