section::::career as a scientist.:theory of tides.









































cardinal bellarmine had written in 1615 that the copernican system could not be defended without "a true physical demonstration that the sun does not circle the earth but the earth circles the sun". galileo considered his theory of the tides to provide such evidence. this theory was so important to him that he originally intended to entitle his "dialogue on the two chief world systems" the "dialogue on the ebb and flow of the sea". the reference to tides was removed from the title by order of the inquisition.
galileo galilei
the council [of trent] prohibits interpreting scripture against the common consensus of the holy fathers; and if your paternity wants to read not only the holy fathers, but also the modern commentaries on genesis, the psalms, ecclesiastes, and joshua, you will find all agreeing in the literal interpretation that the sun is in heaven and turns around the earth with great speed, and that the earth is very far from heaven and sits motionless at the center of the world.andi say that if there were a true demonstration that the sun is at the center of the world and the earth in the third heaven, and that the sun does not circle the earth but the earth circles the sun, then one would have to proceed with great care in explaining the scriptures that appear contrary, and say rather that we do not understand them, than that what is demonstrated is false. but i will not believe that there is such a demonstration, until it is shown me. nor is it the same to demonstrate that by supposing the sun to be at the center and the earth in heaven one can save the appearances, and to demonstrate that in truth the sun is at the center and the earth in heaven; for i believe the first demonstration may be available, but i have very great doubts about the second, and in case of doubt one must not abandon the holy scripture as interpreted by the holy fathers.
