Teaching in a normal way

In “the Dialogue” by Galileo, Galileo was attempting to explain his recent findings, in a manner that could be understood by the common people of the time. His findings were unheard of and never even thought of before he announced his ideas to the world. He was obviously a very intelligent man having developed the ideas of the earth being in motion and since he was an intelligent man he was smart enough to realize not everyone would be able to understand the science behind it. Not only not everyone but a majority of people would have great difficulty understanding his findings in other forms of presentation such as lecture or paper.
Galileo knew his findings were mind boggling and deeply troublesome to understand yet he wanted to spread his knowledge to the world. His idea was one that he knew was extremely likely to get rebuttal as well so his form of handling his was to put possible rebuttals and explanations for why they don’t work in a dialogue form which yet again is easier to understand.
Another easy way to display why Galileo chose to explain his new discovery in a dialogue manner is with teaching styles. Many students complain when their teachers simply lecture for an entire period and do not include them in discussion. Interaction while learning helps to make it less stressful and easier to comprehend due to the more normal, familiar setting, and Galileo wanted his students to learn the best way possible.
