Galileo and his Times

Presentation by Duane Ray. Galileo (1564-1642) lived in the middle of an exciting time of turmoil in both science and religion. Science was on a path to understanding the world. Religion was redefining itself. Galileo had impact in both areas. His high profile almost got him executed but his connections and his deference to the Church saved his life. We review the turmoil of the time and put Galileo’s life and achievements in their historical context. Duane Ray received a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Pennsylvania.
