Summary

Have you ever thought about why Galileo Galilei, an Italian astronomer, physicist, and engineer was willing to risk his life to speak out about science against the will of the church at that time? How was science back then? How can America maintain its leadership in the sciences? Is it slipping? Dr. Brian Keating, an American physicist, podcaster, and author, talks to James Altucher about his project of making the first-ever audiobook that was written by Galileo Galilei, and we also brainstorm on how we could better fund science.

1:35.0	And do you think your telescope could have done it if it was like fully working?
1:40.0	Well, yeah, I mean the telescope worked as good as it possibly could work and it was actually so
1:46.4	so optimally designed that it made a measurement that hasn't been superseded upon, improved upon,
