Lesson 32-1 Galileo reborn 伽利略的复生
In his own lifetime Galileo was the centre of violent controversy; but the scientific
dust has long since settled, and today we can see even his famous clash with the
Inquisition in something like its proper perspective. But, in contrast, it is only in modern
times that Galileo has become a problem child for historians of science.
The old view of Galileo was delightfully uncomplicated. He was, above all, a man
who experimented: who despised the prejudices and book learning of the Aristotelians,
who put his questions to nature instead of to the ancients, and who drew his conclusions
fearlessly. He had been the first to turn a telescope to the sky, and he had seen there
evidence enough to overthrow Aristotle and Ptolemy together.
