Just over four hundred years ago, in 1610, Galileo published the Siderius nuncius, or Starry Messenger, a 'hurried little masterpiece' in John Heilbron's words. Presenting to the world his remarkable observations using the recently invented telescope - of the craters of the moon, and the satellites of Jupiter, observations that forced changes to perceptions of the perfection of the heavens and the centrality of the Earth - the appearance of the little book is regarded asone of the greatest...

Il giorno dell'abiura di Galileo Galilei, il 22 giugno 1633, segna l'indegna conclusione di uno dei processi più famosi della storia. L'eccezionale scienziato e il potere della Chiesa si scontrarono drammaticamente e Galileo, coinvolto ben oltre le sue intenzioni, subì una lacerante divisione. Era un credente, un fedele figlio della Chiesa: quando si impegnava nella ricerca e quando gioiva per una scoperta, non immaginava che essere studioso delle cose della natura significasse essere nemi...

He traces Galileo through his early rebellious years; the beginnings of his scientific career constructing a "new physics"; his move to Florence seeking money, status, and gre...

In a startling reinterpretation of the evidence, Stillman Drake advances the hypothesis that Galileo's trial and condemnation by the Inquisition was caused not by his defiance of the Church, but by the hostility of contemporary philosophers. Galileo's own beautifully lucid arguments are used to show how his scientific method was utterly divorced from the Aristotelian approach to physics in that it was based on a search not for causes but for laws. Galileo's method was of overwhelming signi...

Galileo Galilei è stato il fondatore della scienza moderna, basata non più solo sull'osservazione della natura ma anche sulla possibilità di fare esperimenti "artificiali" (il piano inclinato, la caduta dei gravi) per scoprire nuove leggi fisiche.
