Galileo Galilei was a great scientist, and therefore not afraid of
causing controversy, even if he had to pay a great price. His
public advocacy of the Copernican over the Aristotelian system of
the universe flew directly in the face of biblical authority and
ecclesiastical tradition. Condemned and placed under house arrest
by the Inquisition, Galileo nonetheless devoted his last years to
the completion of his "Dialogues Concerning Two New Sciences",
which deals with motion and the resistance of solids. "The Two New
Sciences", which Galileo called his most important work, may be
regarded as the summary statement of a life devoted to scientific
experimentation and free inquiry un-trammeled by tradition and
authority.
