It's been a while since Orb aired, and it... played fast and loose with historical accuracy, let's say.
I've been reading a lot about the topic since then, and I wanted to write about the history that lead up to the events of Galileo's trial, that legendary fiasco which has become one of the founding myths of modernity. The events as they really occurred are much more complex than the popular narrative, and they stretch farther back than you may imagine, so I figured I'd write a bit about them, in installments. There's a lot to be learned about the nature of science through this topic.
