Infinitely Reasonable: Science Revises the Heavens

In 1545 the Pope called an emergency summit in the Italian city of Trento. The idea was to deal with growing threats to the authority of the Catholic Church. Predictably a book on astronomy just published by a Polish priest was hardly noticed. But a century later the book had been banned, its teaching forbidden, and it had plunged the Church into crisis.

When the dust finally settled, the universe was a different place. Because of that book and the events which followed we can explain the curved path of a cannon ball, say what time the sun will rise tomorrow, put men on the moon, and predict a heavenly visitation early in 1986...
