8. Dialog on Two World Systems
In dialog form, arguments are presented in the Italian idiom, comparing the
Ptolemaic and Copernican systems. Two interlocutors argue for Copernicus, one
for Ptolemy, thus leaving Galileo free to claim impartiality. Galileo meets
the two chief onjections to heliocentricity--stellar parallax and vertical
fall of terrestrial bodies. In this book Galileo introduced hisimportant
theory of the tides. The book was placed in the Index where it remained
until 1822. Galileo was tried and confined by the Inquisition.
