Galileo

Date: Friday, November 26, 2021 5:10 AM EDT

I have always wondered what Galileo thought about the Church keeping him from explaining his gravitational theory.  Heresy the church called it.

What would it have meant if Galileo had never gotten the word out?  How long would it have taken mankind to create another Galileo to help us understand gravity?  Heck, do we even need to know anything about gravity?

Globanomics does not have the church to deal with.  Globanomics has Talkmarkets and a snail's pace Administration to deal with. 

Ridiculous.  Now i think i am beginning to understand more about how Galileo might have felt about the Church.

After all, how important is globanomics anyway?  How important is gravity anyway?

Didn't Galileo give in to the church in the end? I believe they threatened to burn him at the stake but in the end, he backdown and said they were right and he was wrong. I assume most people would have done the same

Your point being?

My point was that I suspect Galileo did not think kindly of the church at all.  They threatened to burn him at the stake, if I remember my history correctly.  He caved because he had to. I was answering your question.
