Cassie hit me last night
In Galileo's Dialogue, Galileo is trying to prove to eveyone that the sun does not revolve around the earth, but that the earth revolves around the sun. He tires to show that it is hard to break a common understood theory. It seems that it takes even more information than just the right theory to get people to start believing the theory. No one likes to think that they have been wrong or have been lied to and so it is hard to start to make people believe in something even if they don't want to. Even if it is the right theory. The Dialogue itself is just another way to put his theory in a less obvious way. He tries to make it suttle in the way that other authors that wrote Cannibals tried to do. It is a way to get people to understand what he is saying but not trying to bash previous views.
