Many people consider Galileo, who stood out as a mathematician, astronomer and physicist, the "father of modern science". He was one of the first men to scrutinize the heavens with a telescope, and he used his observations to support a theory that was the subject of heated debate in his day: that the Earth revolves around the Sun and that, therefore, it is not the center of the universe. This explains why he is sometimes seen as the creator of the modern experimental method. Already at the end of the sixteenth century, Galileo had adopted the theory of Copernicus. According to this, the Earth revolves around the Sun, and not vice versa, what is known as a heliocentric system. In 1610 he discovered with his telescope celestial bodies that had never been observed before, and he was convinced that he had found confirmation of this theory.

In 1611, Galileo traveled to Rome to meet with senior ecclesiastical officials. But, although he used the telescope to show them his astronomical discoveries, things did not turn out as he had expected. By 1616, Galileo was officially the object of investigation. The theologians of the Roman Inquisition described the heliocentric theory as "philosophically insensate and absurd, and formally heretical, since in many aspects it explicitly contradicts the sentences of the Holy Scriptures in their literal meaning, their common interpretation and the opinion of the Saints. Parents and doctors of theology. "

Galileo was sentenced on June 22, 1633 in an austere courtroom before the members of the inquisitorial tribunal. He was found guilty of "having defended and believed the false doctrine, contrary to the Sacred and Divine Scriptures, that the Sun [...] does not move from east to west, and that the Earth moves and is not the center of the world".

Galileo put forward the theory of a heliocentric solar system. That theory affirms that planets revolve around the Sun at the center of solar system. His findings confirmed Copernicus’s prior theory about a sun-centered system. Copernicus´ book “On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres” had been banned by the church.  That theory was very controversial and the Catholic Church classified it as a heresy and warned Galileo to abandon it .Galileo was convicted of grave suspicion of heresy for following the idea of Copernicus, which is contrary to the true sense and authority of Holy Scripture. As a result, he was placed under house  arrest for life. The problem was that all this controversy made people doubt about the church's thinking and the fact  that church controlled “all the truth”

Which of the following factors encouraged ranchers to begin building closed-range ranches in Oklahoma? A. fewer settlers claimin
Alex

Oklahoma lands have always provided a combination of nutritious grasses and productive grain farms to the cattle industry. In the late 1880s, the open range reached to an end. Ranchers began to build closed-range ranches in Oklahoma since more railroads had made long cattle drives less necessary (Option B is the correct answer). Not only did the railroads allow the transport of cattle, but also it brought homesteaders and sheepherders to the plains. Besides, those homesteaders plowed up the prairie and enclosed the plains with barbed wire. At the same time, cattle ranchers started to fence huge tracts for their own use. As a result, conflicts between ranchers and homesteaders over land and water rights began to arise.

Why was the congressional reconstruction unsuccessful and successful?
Firlakuza [10]
The southern(who were previously Confederate) states all wrote new Constitutions and swore loyalty to the Union by 1877. Also, the 13th amendment(which states no slavery n<span>or involuntary servitude</span> is allowed unless punishment... in u.s.), 14th amendment(forbids states to restrict simple rights of citizens etc,), and 15th amendment(citizens in U.S. cannot be denied due to race, color, etc. to vote) were acknowledged and remained after the reconstruction. Former slaves also had a new life ahead of them: they could now be educated, choose who they wanted to marry, and choose jobs. Unfortunately, the reconstruction didn't heal African American/ white man wounds; and even though there were laws for equality, for many upcoming years, many black people still had many problems with white people who still believed they were somehow superior.
