A fictional dialogue based on biographical facts
The "father of modern physics", Galileo Galilei was a scientific revolutionary. He was a renowned polymath whose knowledge spanned the realms of space, time and technology. His cosmic discoveries ushered in an age of scientific revolution: the Moon turned out to be covered with mountains and craters, stars popped out of nowhere, and four satellites were found to be orbiting Jupiter. He published and shared his findings internationally and famously faced the wrath of the Catholic Church for his heliocentric belief.

His life in the Medici court, his love of wine and women, and how he came to spend his last eight years under house arrest. This enlightening conversation presents the essential biography of a man who transformed our view of the universe.
