Charting the Architecture of the Universe & Human Life | Dr. Brian Keating

Yeah, I mean, Galileo in particular is sort of this tragic figure. In some ways, you know, he had the first notions and application of the scientific method, as I said, using an apparatus to confirm a hypothesis, iterating on that. So I said, when he saw the moon, he saw these craters and valleys and rifts and lava fields that you'll see tonight.

Again, people, you can buy a telescope on Amazon, $50. And you'll see the same things that he saw. And you can connect it to your iPhone and post it on Instagram if you want. And I hope you'll do that. That's your only homework assignment. The only one I'm going to assign to you as a professor. So I want you to take a picture of the craters on the moon.

But the point is, you'll see the exact same things. From New York City, you can see them. From the middle of London, it doesn't matter where you are. If you have a clear sky and the moon is out, you'll see the same thing. But when you look at Jupiter, you'll see these four dots.

And here's where Galileo just had this otherworldly intellect that, you know, when I saw those, I was like, oh, cool, it's next to some stars. Until I realized, I had to do more research, that those are actually the moons of Jupiter. So in one night, tonight, you can, you know, quadruple the number of moons you've ever seen in your life. And some of those moons are almost the size of our moon.

Our moon is unusually large. Those moons sometimes will cast shadows on the โ€“ so it will be an eclipse. You will witness an eclipse on Jupiter on another planet with this $50 instrument or whatever, OK? When he was observing these things, he would do things that were not only psychological and they were therapeutic for him in his later years. I will explain that in a minute.

It didn't exist as a country but he was in Tuscany. And he had a lot of challenges. He was almost always broke. Even when he invented his version of the telescope โ€“ again, he didn't invent the telescope. But he made it so much better. 10x'd it. 20x'd it. Zero to one. It was incredible what he did with it.
