About the book

Galileo Galilei's Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems presents a debate between supporters of the traditional Earth-centred model of the cosmos and the heliocentric system associated with Copernicus. Through three conversational characters, Galileo examines astronomical evidence and arguments about motion and observation. The work played a major role in the scientific revolution and brought Galileo into direct conflict with Church authorities.
