在谈到中世纪物理学史时,不可避免地要述及关于罗马宗教法庭对伽利略的审判。但对这一案件的前因后果却众说不一,有必要作一些讨论。哥白尼在《天体运行论》中,针对地心说的困难争辩道:把太阳而不是地球置于中心,可以使这些圆周运动是结构安排得更合理。他提出两个论点:第一、“太阳是世界的中心,因此是不动的”;第二,“地球不是世界的中心,不是不动的,而是天天在转动”。这里的第一个命题,无疑是错误的。在第二个命题中,人们必须解释“静止”和“运动”两词的意思。如果人们将“静止” When it comes to the history of medieval physics, it is inevitable to address the trial of Galileo by the Roman religious court. However, the antecedents and consequences of this case have different opinions. It is necessary to make some discussions. Copernicus in The Theory of Celestial Movement argues that the difficulties of geocentric theory argue that placing the sun instead of the earth can make these circular motions more structured. He put forward two arguments: first, “the sun is the center of the world and therefore is immobile.” Second, “the Earth is not the center of the world. It is not immobile. It is a day that is turning.” The first proposition here is undoubtedly wrong. In the second proposition, one must explain the meaning of the words “rest” and “movement.” If people will be “still”
