Description:
Science deniers have been with us for a very long time. Though Galileo’s quest to prove that Earth orbits the sun was correct, he eventually recanted his belief as punishment for heresy. Livio describes parallels to our modern world where, even 400 years later, some people assail science when it conflicts with their ideology.
Please join us as Brian gives us a preview of his full discussion with Mario Livio and his new book “Galileo and the Science Deniers”
