-------------------------VIDEO NOTES-------------------------

The trial of Galileo is one of the most misrepresented, and therefore misunderstood, events in the history of science and religion. My supporters on Patreon voted to see a video covering what happened in this infamous sentencing, hopefully clearing up some misconceptions and bringing to light some interesting facts.
