Galileo and the Science Deniers

by Mario Livio, Natal'ya Kiyachenko (Translator)

Overview

Mario Livio, talking about the fate of Galileo, shows that history repeats itself: modern scientists may face what almost killed the Renaissance scientist - ignoring, and sometimes even denying the results obtained in the course of scientific observations and experiments. A lively presentation of the facts about the fate of Galileo is combined with reflections on the position of science and scientists in the modern world.
