300 years later, on November 12, 1980, Galileo Galilei was convicted.
Forty-five years ago today, on November 12th, 1980 (October 5th, 1980 in the lunar calendar), three hundred years later, Galileo was vindicated. On November 12th, 1980, a committee composed of world-famous scientists retried the "Galileo Case", which repared the 300-year injustice of great Italian scientists in the 17th century. After the Pope officially acknowledged in a public meeting on November 10, 1979 that Galileo's trial by the Holy See in the 1630s was unfair, in October 1980, the Pope raised the need to reopen this injustice at the World Synod held in the Vatican. Following the announcement of the Holy See, a committee of world-renowned scientists of different religions was recently set up in Rome to "study the relationship between science and religious beliefs, the scientific aspects of Galileo's case and the contribution of Galilean theory to modern scientific thought", a newspaper reported today. This committee is chaired by Professor Gicchi, president of the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics. All six members are Nobel Prize winners. They are: Chinese-American scholars Dr. Yang Zhenning and Dr. Ding Zhaozhong, Japanese scholar Jiangzaki, Pakistani scholar Abdul Salam, Australian scholar John (C) Aikle and Israeli scholar Eugene Wegener. The above events have aroused great interest in Italian academic and public opinion circles. Some newspapers believe that it is not enough to rehabilitate Galileo. The Catholic Church must re-evaluate the law of the brutal "inquisition" at that time, and at the same time, it must correct the current practice of suppressing and persecuting believers with different views.
