With the invention of the telescope, Galileo was to propound the most stunning reversal in perception ever to have jarred mens' thoughts: We are not the centre of the universe. The immobility of our world is an illusion. We spin. We speed through space. We circle the sun. We live on a wandering star. But he had to reconcile the heaven he revered as a good Catholic with the heavens he revealed through his invention - discoveries that bought him to trial by the Holy Office of the Inquisition in the most dramatic collision in history between our science and religion.
