from Brecht's Galileo
by Ikechi Ogbonna
At first glance you may ask yourself, "How does this animation relate to Galileo?" It relates in that the key, which represents the Discorsi, is given to Andrea. The Discorsi represents Galileo's struggle to express his views. This work, which is Galileo's final book, is the key to Galileo's hard work. It is a culmination of his ideas and without it, future astronomers would not have been able to open the door of reality; reality is the fact that the Earth revolves around the Sun.
