Vedi i dettagli del titolo

Explore the legendary phrase 'Eppur si muove' and the real story behind Galileo Galilei's 1633 trial and house arrest. Dr Sarah Quinn examines whether the great astronomer actually whispered these defiant words after being forced to recant his support for the Copernican model. Discover how Galileo continued his groundbreaking scientific work while confined to his villa in Arcetri, completing some of his most important contributions to physics under supervision. This episode delves into the broader implications of scientific inquiry under institutional pressure, exploring how knowledge spreads despite attempts at suppression. Learn about the collaborative networks of natural philosophers that sustained scientific progress during the Scientific Revolution, and consider modern parallels to historical restrictions on scientific research. We examine the democratization of scientific knowledge through Galileo's choice to write in Italian rather than Latin, making complex astronomical concepts accessible to wider audiences. The episode also explores how the telescope revolutionized astronomy and spread rapidly across Europe, fundamentally changing humanity's understanding of our place in the cosmos. Perfect for history enthusiasts, science lovers, and anyone interested in the intersection of knowledge, power, and institutional authority throughout human civilization.
