jan 1, 1630 - Galileo condemned by the Catholic Church

Description:

Galileo's beliefs, the heliocentric system; meaning the sun is in the center of the universe, not God, made the Catholic Church mad. So they had Galileo under house arrest. This is significant because his beliefs were later "discovered" by another philosopher who proved that Galileo was right and we now know that the Sun is in the center of the universe.
