Astrophysicist Brian Keating talks about Galileo Galilei #cosmology

[TheOriginalJphyper]

A scientist who is never wrong is not a scientist at all.

[sadiasulemanhappyfamily]

#Galileo was for his times. For that particular time period. He deserves credit for definitely paving way for next coming scientists in future

[ross]

He wasn’t “totally wrong” he was only partly right.

[rawraj]

Finally someone who has the courage to call out einstien. That guy has made more blunders that discoveries.

[p.al.o]

I'm not a smart man. Made many mistakes in my life. But this is why I love science. The theory. The hypothesis and then the tests and confirmation or contradiction of your hypothesis. Is a metaphor of life.

[sedgwickmcalaster]

Even God created people who kill each other for no reason

[plzzz]

Imagine being the first of your specie (first of many?)to even comtemplate such conception though.

[donotrobme]

What were both of their big incorrect theories. I’d love to hear those. That would be facinating

[johnsheppard]

Imagine standing on the shoulders of giants and telling everyone they are not that tall.

[lenny]

Glad they made those mistakes, to get others to dig deeper into conclusions and come up with the truth.

[carlosmohedano]

I mean. At least they tried to give an explanation with the knowledge at the time.. instead of saying "aliens" 😅

[dibyendugoswami-lr]

I don't think he was wrong at that time. When you have nothing and you come up with something reasonable then you might be correct or at least you have though something which anyone hasn't. Let's think in this way, what if after 300-400 years later, we find that Einstein's E=mc^2 is proven false. (maybe who knows) Then what will be done at that time ? Criticize Einstein for not giving the correct formula/law and calling him stupid despite of having 160 iq points ?

[Plamler]

It didn’t matter because Galileo made the most important military innovation at that time with his telescopes. Once you understand why the cultures of the day valued someone, much of the modern cultural mystique is stripped away and their achievements become attainable through dedication.

[AcidHouse]

This scientist didnt discover jsck shit and he still talks about the greatest minds in disregard

[homagetogorto]

Don’t get me started on Pliny the Elder.

[FeatsDaily]

So the scientist wasn’t right every single time? So… science working as intended. That’s a good thing. Ffs.

[RvVx]

What was that called coriolis effect or something?

[joshuasprott]

But if we live in a container then he’s right

[sydthegoat]

well it would sloosh just a little, were on an eccentric orbit dependent on other large gravitational bodies aswell. The moon is tiny in comparison, the sun has equal gravitational influence alone.

[dsp]

These men were right half the time of all their ideas. Logical critical thinking and analysis at work. They won Nobel prizes for their ideas

Alex Jones is right one out of every 10 million of his ideas. Random luck at work. He lost defamation cases and had to pay out nearly 1 billion dollars.
