Life of Galileo

"Life of Galileo" is a play by Bertolt Brecht that explores the conflict between scientific truth and personal, religious, or societal beliefs. It tells the story of Galileo, the scientist who supported the idea that the Earth orbits the Sun, challenging the church's teachings. The play highlights the struggles he faces when his discoveries threaten existing power structures, and how his pursuit of knowledge impacts his life and integrity. It raises questions about the importance of truth, responsibility, and the cost of standing up for scientific discoveries in the face of opposition.
