On this day (22 June) in 1633, Galileo Galilei (the polymath who is now
renown for his contributions to the scientific fields of astronomy,
engineering, physics and mathematics) was forced to recant his theory that
the earth orbited the sun: a view known as heliocentrism.
Despite operating during the Inquisition and working on innovative and often
controversial theoretical approaches, Galileo was still able to make
significant scientific discoveries and publish various findings, as he often
worked under the protection of powerful patrons (the Medici and the Pope
included). However, when Galileo published his Dialogue Concerning the Two
Chief World Systems, the polymath was accused of heresy and called to Rome to
defend his writings.
The Inquisition found Galileo guilty of suspected heresy and despite being
awarded a prison sentence, this penalty was later commuted to house arrest.
He remained under this restriction until his death in 1642.
It was not until 1992 that the Vatican admitted that Galileo?s theory was
correct.
On this day 1633, Galileo Galilei was forced to recant his theory that the
earth orbited the sun: a view known as heliocentrism.
