GALILEJ GALILEO. TRAGEDY GALILEE

Galilej understood the tragedy which consisted not that it became ' a victim of an arbitrariness ', and that he lived in peace where him ' legally can pursue and torment for the edition of the book which makes glory of Italy, to torment for its all-consuming aspiration to scientific true which for it is so desired, what even suppresses fear before inquisition '.

Having condemned Galilee, inquisition has made everything to poison and last years his lives. It, the scientist with a world name, pride of Italy, veins under house arrest. However scientific activity of Galilej has not stopped - even definitively having lost sight, it continued to work. At this time the scientist has finished work ' Conversations and the mathematical proofs, sciences concerning two new branches ' in which has summed up to the researches in the field of dynamics. Till the end of a life of Galilej was considered ' as the prisoner of inquisition ' and Florence where has died on January, 8th, 1642 In 1737 has been forced to live on the country house of Archetri near last will of the scientist has been executed - its ashes have transferred to Florence in church Santa-Kroche where it has been buried near to Michelangelo.

After death Galilee, despite an official interdiction, Kopernik's doctrine continued to extend, and in the beginning of XIX century, with growth of accuracy of astronomical supervision, direct proofs of movement of the Earth have been received. It has allowed Vatican to cancel the decree about an interdiction kopernikovskoto doctrines. Galilej thus continued to remain the heretic formally. And only on July, 3rd, 1981 under instructions of daddy John Pavel P the commission consisting of visible scientists, lawyers and seminary students has been created pontifikalnaja. After 11 years of work members of this commission have come to a conclusion that Galilej, offering to refuse literal interpretation of the Bible at discussion of the new phenomena and scientific theories, was right. Thereby on October, 31st, 1992 daddy John Pavel II declared an inquisition judgement erroneous and has rehabilitated Galilee. It not only has returned to the scientist ' the right to be the lawful son of church ', but also has publicly made to it of an apology.

It was found out also that within nine years, before the most death, Galilej directed messages to the Pope, denying godlessness attributed to it. Galileo Galilej has stayed in disgrace of 359 years, 4 months and 10 days. The remarkable physicist, the mechanic, the continuer of business of Kopernik, the courageous fighter for a science against religious superstition and ignorance - was that this great scientist. Its immortal name is brought on the Moon and Mars card.
