3 laws of planetary motion:
1. Planets revolve around the sun in elliptical orbits (against church bc god made perfect things and ellipses aren’t perfect)
2. Planets move more rapidly as their orbits approach the sun
3. The time taken by planets to orbit the sun varies proportionately with their distance from the sun
Supported and built off of the heliocentric theory

Galileo

A

-Pendulum -> pendulum swings at the same rate
-Acceleration-> all things accelerate at the same rate
-Built powerful telescopes and found that:
-Moon has craters and rough surface
-Sun has dark spots
-4 moons of Jupiter
which shows things as imperfect that goes against how god made everything perfect
-Starry messenger= his book
-Church told him to stop
-when he didn’t stop, he was taken to Rome for a trial and he was found guilty of Heresy, so he had to recant or be tourtured. He recanted because if he didn’t he would be executed immediately and it didn’t matter if he recanted or not because he had evidence
