An excellent lecture. Very enlightening

Great lecture. It's becoming harder and harder to find quality content on the Internet these days. This is fabulous

Excellent presentation, thank you very much for posting this video.

Great lecture

Fantastic Lecture. Thank you very very much. One problem... where are the proceedings of Galileo's trial?

Great lecture. Thanks a lot. I'm just about to teach my first world history class, and it was great to see this first.

Very fun

Didnt think Mike Lindell was a cosmologist.

The Bible doesn't say the Earth is the center of the solar system god damn it!

Its science that makes that claim. Look into "background radiation"

This retelling of the story of Galileo repeats numerous well known debunked false claims. In particular the story of Simplicius (actually named for a famous 6th century pagan philosopher), supposedly retelling a story from Urban. This claim came up in 1635, and the Pope himself cleared Galileo of any such accusation. See: Retrying Galileo 1633-1992 by Maurice Finocchiaro. The pope was almost certain *NOT* the invisible hand behind the trial. Urban was Galileo's ally before, during, and after the trial, as evidenced by all actions Urban took regarding Galileo. The "invisible hand" was almost certainly the Jesuits.

Because he was pioneering in the field logic and science?

What a huxter Galileo was.

Galileo called a pop a 'lier'

legitimate criticism.

Signori is pronounced (Sinyori)

A bit disappointed. Much more to the trial than that and given the time certainly could've been covered. Perhaps he didn't project the "tragic hero" narrative onto Galileo it would've gone better. Not bad but this isn't Cal state or ASU. I expect more from U of C

Posthumous degrees are silly and redundant. Sort of like executing someone and finding them innocent of all charges.

Napoleon never entered Rome in person. BTW Bruno was not burned because his cosmological speculation.

Department of Romeland Security :D

I can understand why he ticked the church off.

The push for Creationism to be taught alongside evolution is another example of religion enshackling the minds of men.

Spoken like an ideology possessed tyrant. Why not present both views and let people decide for themselves? Who fears a debate? The liar or the orher guy?

Dante is buried in Ravenna.

im in school watching this video

I don't think that foreign language is his strong suit.

Brilliant! Excellent explication of one of the worst examples of religion trying (and eventually failing) to fight off the advancement of critical thinking and the scientific method. And today, religion is still at it. From the Discovery Institute (Creationism) to Islamic State. Loved the "Dept. of Rome Land security" for the inquisition.

This lecturer based his talk on one Catholic book. This is filled with errors, from the strength of Galileo's telescope (he claims the first one had a magnification of 3 when in fact it was 8 and Galileo built it himself after teaching himself the entire craft of lens making, a huge accomplishment). All of the claims that Galileo was arrogant come from the Catholic church, blaming the victim for their arrest and abuse of him.

Yes he was and he loved to thumb his nose at the RCC.

He thought the pope was an ally, boy was he wrong.

this guy is so boring , he could put hyperactive children to sleep..I pity the people who have to listen to him...
