Read the following dialogue and answer the question!

Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) was an astronomer and a scientist.  Galileo developed a superior  telescope  and  made  many significant  discoveries  in  astronomy.  He was sentenced to  life  imprisonment  by  the  inquisition  for  his  support  for  the Copernican theory that the sun was at the center of the solar system.

 

Galileo was born in Florence, Italy in 1564 to a poor but noble family. His parents recognized their child’s innate intelligence and talents, so they made sacrifices to have him educated. At his father’s insistence, Galileo studied the profitable career of medicine. However, at the University of Pisa, Galileo became fascinated in a wide range of subjects. He was also critical of many Aristotle’s teaching which had dominated education for the past 2,000 years.

 

Galileo was appointed to be a mathematics professor at the University of Pisa, but his strident criticisms of Aristotle left him isolated among his contemporaries. Aher three years of persecution, he resigned and went to the University of Padua, where he taught maths. His entertaining lectures attracted a large following, and he was able to spend the next 18 years pursuing his interests in astronomy and mechanics.
