(Btw, Galileo was not imprisoned for looking for exoplanets or aliens but for contradicting Church doctrine on geocentrism. Given the telescopes he was working with at the time, as they had only recently been invented, he wouldn't have found any exoplanets or aliens even if he were looking right at them. See )



I remember something about it being his assertion of a vacuum that tipped the balance, because the church thought there could not be a vacuum as god was omni present, but my knowledge is from long ago and not direct, If you have details, or could point me in the right direction to direct knowledge I would much appreciate it. thanks
