Galileo

Galileo, a teacher and theorist, was presented with a challenge by a new student, and he responded by co-opting emerging telescope technology and discovering conclusive proof of the heretical theory that the earth is not the center of the universe. But in a conservative society that is dominated by an uneasy alliance of aristocracy and clergy that has already been damaged by the Black Death and the Protestant Reformation, science is a danger and enlightenment is a luxury. Galileo is forced to make a choice between his own life and the restless scientific curiosity that drove him to forsake his family, friends, and wealth in order to pursue it.
