Q: 

చర్చి లో క్షమాపణలు చెప్పి, గెలీలియో లాగా తప్పించుకొని ఉంటే సరిపోయేది. వారి ప్రాణ త్యాగం వలన యూరిపియన్లలో వెంటనే సైంటిఫిక్ టెంపర్ ఏమైనా పెరిగిందాండి?

కృష్ణ కుమారి చల్లా:

Galileo Galilei was forced to recant his beliefs and spent the rest of his life under house arrest after being tried by the Inquisition. He remained in the state of house arrest till his death. However, a newly discovered letter shows that Galileo tried to tone down his ideas to avoid persecution.

Recent ga religious heads e sorry chepparu.

More than 300 years later, the church admitted Galileo was right and cleared his name of heresy

Pope says sorry for sins of church

Aite Galileo sorry cheppinattuga ekkada ledu. 'Tone down' chesinanduna, sikhsa konta taggindi ante. Aite chala kadhanalu vunnayi, andulo edi nijam anedi cheppatam kashtam ippudu deeni gurinchi.

Galileo Galilei recanted his support of heliocentrism in a public declaration to the Catholic Church to avoid further punishment.

Explanation

• In 1633, Galileo was put on trial for his support of heliocentrism, the idea that the Earth revolves around the sun.
• Galileo admitted that he violated the Church's injunction against teaching heliocentrism, but claimed he did not do so intentionally.
• Galileo was allowed leniency because he renounced his support of heliocentrism.
• In a public declaration, Galileo abjured, cursed, and detested his errors and heresies. He also swore that he would never again say or write anything that might cause suspicion.
• Galileo was eventually allowed to return to his farm house to live out the rest of his life in a sort of house arrest.

A newly discovered letter shows that Galileo tried to tone down his ideas early on in his conflict with the Church.

Galileo Galilei's refusal to back down or apologize, which eventually led to his house arrest, can be understood through several key factors:

1. Commitment to Scientific Truth: Galileo was deeply committed to the scientific method and the pursuit of knowledge. He believed that his observations and conclusions about heliocentrism (the idea that the Earth orbits the Sun) were based on empirical evidence. To him, retracting his views would mean compromising his integrity and the scientific principles he valued.
2. Conflict with the Church: The Catholic Church at the time held significant power and influence, and it viewed Galileo's support of heliocentrism as a challenge to its authority and interpretation of Scripture. Galileo's initial trial in 1616 was a result of this conflict. He was found "vehemently suspect of heresy" but was allowed to continue his work under the condition that he could not promote heliocentrism.
3. Defiance and Personal Conviction: In 1632, Galileo published "Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems," which favored heliocentrism and was perceived as a direct challenge to the Church. His defiance was likely fueled by a combination of personal conviction and a desire to advocate for scientific progress.
4. The Nature of the Trial: During his trial in 1633, Galileo was pressured to recant his views. While he did recant publicly to avoid harsher punishment, his private beliefs remained unchanged. He reportedly muttered, "And yet it moves," after his recantation, indicating that he still believed in the heliocentric model despite his public denial.
5. Legacy Over Personal Safety: Galileo was aware of the potential consequences of his actions, including house arrest. However, he may have valued his legacy and the advancement of science more than his personal safety or freedom. He continued to work on scientific inquiries during his house arrest, producing significant contributions to physics and motion.

In summary, Galileo's refusal to fully retract his beliefs stemmed from his commitment to scientific truth, a desire to challenge authority, and the importance he placed on his legacy as a scientist. His house arrest, while a personal hardship, did not diminish his impact on science and philosophy.

Aite years and years of wrong thinking, conditioning of minds ni e okkari prana tyagam vallano rupu maasi potundanukunte adi atyase autundi.
