With regard to cosmology, Galileo was not an original thinker. He adhered to the Copernican system of the world and did not elaborate it further: he did not investigate the details of the form of the planetary orbits, he remained faithful to the traditional idea of their circular form and always rejected Kepler’s theory of elliptical orbits.

He adhered to the Copernican system of the world and did not elaborate it further: he did not investigate the details of the form of the planetary orbits, he remained faithful to the traditional idea of their circular form and always rejected Kepler’s theory of elliptical orbits.File in questo prodotto:
