Solb: Galileo was right all along, that in the distant future, when you really understand the deep meaning of the Bible, and you really understand your physics and astronomy, it will all make sense. But until that day, they have to be separate, and religion cannot have any control over scientific study. And I think he was dead on? Dead on? Live on. Yeah, live on dead on.
This year marks the 400th anniversary of Galileo’s use of the first telescope. On this week’s show, we reflect on how telescopes have shifted our perspective on how small we are in size, space, and time. We also discuss how they help astronomers discover new and interesting aspects of the universe, from Earth-like planets to supernova, from black holes to the Big Bang.
