Church officials believed the theory contradicted current religious teachings.
Galileo's work caused controversy because it challenged the accepted geocentric model of the universe, which placed Earth at the center. His support for the heliocentric model, with the sun at the center, contradicted religious teachings of the time. This led to conflicts with the Catholic Church and Galileo being condemned for heresy.
We'll never know. But it may be worth noting that Galileo supported and played a major role in the theory concerning the heliocentric theory, or the belief that the Sun was at the center of the Solar System.
Galileo's telescope designs using lenses were examples of early optical technology advancements that allowed for magnification and enhanced observational capabilities. These designs revolutionized astronomy and helped Galileo make significant discoveries, such as the moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus, that supported the heliocentric model of the solar system.
He made many experiments and observations in the field of physics in general.
