The Galileo Project

Produced and Directed by Betsy Chasse and Katheryne (Ktee) Thomas and Hosted by Heather Gardner

400 years ago, Galileo upset the church by offering evidence that the Earth is not the center of the universe.      


Galileo was not alone. History tells us that when revolutionary discoveries threaten the status quo, the knee jerk response is to ignore, criticize, and occasionally, burn a visionary at the stake. Amazing scientists like Ignaz Semmelweis, Gregor Mendel, James Lind, William Harvey, were ridiculed—or worse. Giodano Bruno was tortured and executed for asserting that the earth travels through space, and that stars were actually suns of other worlds. And of course, Galileo, who lived out his last 8 years under house arrest.     


What if there were Galileos among us now who could forever change the world, but are likewise being ignored?   In today’s world, science (or scientists and the journals and organizations that publish and fund them) can be as dogmatic as the church. And while radical scientists aren’t being trotted off to the gallows or imprisoned in London tower anymore, they are often sidelined, ridiculed, and unable to publish because their discoveries shake the foundation of what Science considers to be the Truth.
