- This telescope is true on earth, but very deceptive in heaven!

- Yoon to sari duniya dosti ka mela hai,

Phir bhi is mele mein hamin akele hai.

- Galileo wrote a letter to his student Abbot Castellin stating, 'The Holy Scriptures only mention the salvation of souls, but they are not authoritative in scientific matters.' After this letter was published, there was a big uproar

In the field of space, India has filled such a gap that India has come to the fore in the fierce space competition of Russia, America and other countries. It is becoming a sprinter country, achieving new milestones and constantly moving forward. India became the first country to enter the orbit of Mars. He holds the record of launching more than one hundred satellites at a time. The Chandrayaan-3 lander has landed safely on the lunar surface and the Aditya L-1 spacecraft has been launched towards the Sun. Also, India became the first country in the world to install a liquid mirror Telescope. Earlier it was used either for tracking satellites or for military purposes. While the best place for astronomical observation is established at Devasthal. The telescope will help detect transient and variable objects such as supernovae, gravitational lenses, galaxies and asteroids. Remembering this telescope brings to mind Galileo Galilei.

At one point, Galileo's name became synonymous with the telescope. If we know the pains, toils and deadly struggle that the mathematician, astronomer and physicist Galileo went through for research, our heads automatically bow. Looking at the ups and downs he experienced in his life, we realize that Galileo inherited the lessons of music and freedom that made it possible for him to enter the world of research. Art did not provide him with a livelihood.

Began studies at the University of Pisa in 1581 and entered the world of medicine, but dropped out without a degree due to an interest in mathematics. He studied mathematics and mechanics, especially the lives and works of Euclid and Archimedes, and Galileo considered them his teachers throughout his life. Due to financial situation, he had to leave the university and return to his home in Florence. He was immersed in the deep study of mathematics and physics.

Now let's talk about the telescope. In 1610, Galileo described his first discoveries with the telescope in the Starry Herald, published in Florence. This book created a huge stir in the field of research throughout Europe. Happy people rushed to order telescopes.

In September 1960, Kepler acquired a telescope, and in December Galileo's discovery was confirmed by the influential Roman astronomer Clavius. As a result, Galileo became the most famous scientist in Europe. Poems were written in honor of his research and he began to be compared to Columbus. While King Henry IV of France asked Galileo shortly before his death on April 20, 1610 to find a star for him, the astronomer Francisco Cizzi, on the other hand, published a pamphlet saying, 'Galileo's discovery is completely illusory.' They do not trust Galileo's telescope. Someone said, 'Though it works admirably on the ground, this telescope is deceptive in the heavens, because it shows double the stars.' Astrologers and doctors also opposed Galileo. Astrologers felt that if Galileo's words were accepted, their methods of astrology would be completely destroyed.

Galileo's ideology against Aristotle's doctrines in Greece increased his detractors. He was particularly outraged by Galileo's promotion of a heliocentric system of the world, as the scriptures referred to the fixedness of the earth and the movement of the sun. The concept of the motion of the earth and the refutation of the hypotheses about its rotation were provided with the evidence of Aristotle's 'On the Sky' and Ptolemy's 'Almargest'.

In 1611, Galileo decided to go to Rome to convince the Pope that Copernicus was right. Copernicanism is quite compatible with Catholicism. He was well received here. He met the influential, cardinals Pope Paul V. He showed them the telescope and gave a careful explanation. Excited by this, Galileo wrote a letter to his student, Abbot Castellin, stating, 'The Holy Scriptures only mention the salvation of souls, but they are not authoritative in scientific matters.' After this letter was published, there was a big uproar.

In 1613 Galileo published 'Letters on Sunspots' in which he openly argued in favor of the Copernican system. On February 25, 1615, the Roman Inquisition brought Galileo's first trial for heresy. Galileo's last mistake led to Rome being called to express his final position on Copernicanism (1615).

All this led to the opposite reaction to what was expected. Concerned with the success of the Reformation, the Catholic Church decided to strengthen its spiritual monopoly by banning Copernicanism in particular. The cardinal explained that the Church did not object to the interpretation of Copernicanism as a convenient mathematical device, but to accept it as reality meant that the previous traditional interpretation of the biblical text was erroneous and that if accepted would in turn undermine the authority of the Church.

For the crime of adopting and teaching Copernicus' theory was sentenced to eight years' house arrest. In a letter written from prison, Galileo notes that he cannot get out of bed because of terrible pain in his thigh.

It cannot be determined whether Galileo was merely threatened with torture or actually tortured, but he was sentenced to imprisonment. Not only this, but the motion of the earth and the motion of the sun were expressly ordered not to be spoken of in any way, written or verbal.

He was last interrogated on June 21. He was sent to prison instead of an embassy, ​​and on 22 June a verdict was announced that he had been found guilty of distributing a book containing 'false, heretical, unscriptural' teaching. He was not declared a heretic, but was 'strongly suspected of heresy' and sentenced to eight years in prison.

However, the Pope did not keep Galileo in prison for long. Galileo stayed in a villa for five months and was then allowed to go home. He spent the rest of his life under house arrest and under the constant supervision of the Equitation. This condition was akin to imprisonment and they were constantly threatened if they violated anything further. They were not allowed to visit cities. He was forbidden to discuss the abominable opinion about the movement of the earth.

Galileo died in bed on January 8, 1664 at the age of 78. Pope Urban forbade Galileo to be buried in the family crypt at the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence. He was buried without honours, in Arkestri.

He was not allowed to build his memorial. However, four and a half hundred years after Galileo's death, the famous Pope John Paul admitted that the Church was wrong and that Galileo was right. He said, 'The church did not do this right.' Thus the telescopes were of many types. Conventional telescopes include telescopes such as LMTs and ILMTs, but Galileo's telescope is at its core and many of its struggles are hidden in it.

A game of tug-of-war for majority!

Disappointed Ramesh came home. His father was a prominent leader. He asked Ramesh, 'Alya, why are you so disappointed? What was the result? How many students passed?'

Ramesh said, 'Father, this time a very strict result has been announced. Seventy percent of students failed and only thirty percent passed.'

'But let him say what was your result?'

Ramesh kept his head down and said, 'I also failed.'

The joy of the leader was unbounded. He immediately said to the servant, 'Go and bring Penda. I want to celebrate such happiness.'

The servant brought Penda. The leader began to celebrate the result of his failed son with penda. Everyone was surprised.

Ramesh said, 'Father, there seems to be some misunderstanding. I didn't pass.'

The leader said, 'What if you didn't pass? That's great, beta!'

'What a miracle?'

'Just think, who is the majority with? Seventy percent fail, so you are in the majority. Politics is a game of majority. If you win in that, you are considered successful.'

- We remembered this because as the elections are approaching in the country, the game of getting majority is being played. For this, parties put ideology aside and focus only on the ballot box. Some try different maneuvers to get majority by forgetting national interest.

Some parties achieve alliances, while others play various maneuvers to bring from other parties into their own party. Because of the majority only heads count, not honest men.

In this tug-of-war for majority, values ​​are set aside and no one cares if national unity is broken somewhere. The madness of the majority turns democracy into mob rule!
