My dear segredo I must have time to work

out my proof and I need my comforts my

only worry is that you may not take not

used to writing letters to important

people do you think this will do with

this

I commend myself as one of your most

faithful and devoted servants whose

chief desire is to bask in the presence

of your highness the Rising Sun of our

great 8 the Duke of Florence is a boy of

nine I see you think my letter is to

survive by one day fits our way enough

the only way a man like me command a

decent job on his belly

run along to matters now Galileo don't

go to Florence why not

it's ruled by monks there are scholars

to blankets taken by your scruff of the

neck and make them look for my tube even

monks can be seduced by proof Galileo

you're setting out on the road to

disaster you're suspicious and sceptical

in science but in politics you're as

naive as your daughter how can those in

power leave a man at large who tells the

truth about the remotest stars can you

see the poop calmly writing down in his

diary 10th of January 1610 when you were

at your telescope I saw you tied to the

stake and when you said you believed in

proof I smell of burning flesh

if they'll have me I'll go

your highness shall we begin with an

observation of the satellites of Jupiter

the Medici and stars sit down here

please thank you my boy no I'm afraid

it's not as simple as that

before we use your celebrated instrument

mr. Galilei we beg the favor of a

disputation subject can these moons

exists a formal disputation why don't

you just look through the telescope and

see for yourselves you are aware that

your proposition that there are stars

revolving around some Center other than

the Earth's if that is nothing holding

the universe up it's in contradiction to

the wisdom of the ages yes apart from my

mathematical friends reservations as to

whether these moons are possible I as a

philosopher ask you are they necessary

Aristotle a divine ion there shall we

speak in everyday language my colleague

mr. fellows oniy doesn't understand

Latin yes the debate will be less

brilliant but to cha house the cosmos of

the divine Aristotle with its crystal

spheres and their mystical music is an

edifice of incomparable order and beauty

why should we go out of our way to look

for things which can only strike a

discord in that ineffable harmony your

highness would you care to observe these

unnecessary and impossible stars through

the telescope mr. Gailey nobody does the

job been child of shall we say your

adopted braintown he's contrived but one

is tempted to observe that if your tube

shows something that cannot exist it

must be rather unreliable to house there

was different mr. Kennedy I suggest sees

in your eyes different

admirably put great restraint they think

we painted the Medici and stars on the

lens

huh are you accusing me of fraud is

there something wrong with my stars

your Highnesses stars are fine the

gentlemen are only wondering whether

they really exist

can you see the claws on great there yes

and everything on the ball our Eugen I'm

going to look gentlemen

the Sun of our knowledge is pitiful it

has been my singular good fortune to get

all of a new instrument that brings a

small patch of the universe a little bit

closer it's at your disposal make use of

it

your highness ladies and gentlemen where

is all this leading are we as scholars

concerned with where the truth might

lead us mr. Galan a the truth might lead

us anywhere your highness these Knights

all over Italy telescopes are being

turned on the sky the moons of Jupiter

have never been seen before and yet they

exist the man in the street may conclude

that a good many other things may exist

if only he opens his eyes gentlemen we

ought to be defending shaky doctrines

your teachers you ought to be doing this

shaking I was sure a man would keep out

of what is supposed to be a scientific

debate your highness

looks as if we have to go to the

shipyards nowadays to find the high cure

yosity that was the glory of Greece well

I'm sure mr. Galilei will find it

matters in the shipyards your highness I

find this highly informative discussion

has exceeded the time we allow it is

imperative that we leave at once

but you need only to look through the

telescope His Highness will of course

seek the opinion of the greatest living

authority

Christopher Clavius astronomer in chief

at the papal College in Rome

son stand I'll still upon Gibby on an

owl moon in the valley of a Jalan never

move does the Bible lie

how did Christopher Clavius the greatest

astronomer alive get mixed up in an

investigation of this time he's in there

with his eyes glued to that diabolical

instrument

mr. Galilei I think something just fell

down

are you sure Monsignor that it didn't

fall up inside

panting can't they reach a decision

in this poetry matter christopher

Clavius Alton no he's astronomy after

all these years this mr. Galilei

transfers mankind from the center of the

universe to somewhere in the outskirts

does mr. Galilei is therefore an enemy

to mankind and must be dealt with as

such is it conceivable God will trust

the most precious fruit of his labor to

some mueslix did you beat of a star

who'd he have sent his son to such a

place how can men be so perverse let's

listen to something that's told them by

some slave of the multiplication table

the gentleman is over there they were I

can see you bear a striking resemblance

to the man we burnt the doctor said you

mustn't excite so degraded the earth did

you leave buyer and receive everything

from her well I won't have it I won't be

nobody on some nondescript star the

earth it stands still and it's the

center of the universe and I am in the

center but me fixed to the crystal

spheres of all the lesser lights of the

stars and the great life of the Sun

creations will you mean the God might

see me man supreme work of God since you

have over text

he's right

phurba clavia says it's up to the

theologians now to set the heavens right

again you've won

this is Eminence the Cardinal Inquisitor

our dance with anyone but you Ludovico

showing some lace

father feel my heart oh it's pumping

beautiful you would better if you don't

they'll start saying all over again that

the earth doesn't turn it doesn't turn

sir
