Flat Earth Theory / How is the story of Galileo explained
« on: May 25, 2019, 12:04:26 AM »
Hi guys, I would really love more information on the wiki about more recent historical figures who were involved in building the traditional western model of the universe. There is information about Aristotles arguments and their counters. Why is Aristotle the only one mentioned?
Galileo dedicated his life to demonstrating that the Earth revolves around the sun and not vice versa. He spent the last years of his life imprisoned due to blasphemy. There was great risk involved in this for him. Even before him, even those thinkers who believed in a geocentric universe still believed the Earth to be round and dedicated their life to this science (Kepler, for example). Is it true that these incredibly intelligent and dedicated thinkers could not figure out the Earth was not in fact round. What does the Flat Earth Society make of these individuals? They were SIMPLY wildly wrong? With everything that was at stake?
