The secrets of the universe await in Florence!

​Meet Galileo Galilei!

Invention: A Telescope That Changed the Universe

Biogrphy:

• Born in Pisa, Italy in 1564

• Improved the telescope and observed Jupiter’s moons

• Championed the idea that Earth revolves around the Sun

  Got into a bit of trouble with the Church for it

📜 You arrive at a dimly lit study in Florence. Books, scrolls, and strange instruments fill the room. A tall man with a white beard looks up from his telescope.

Ah, traveler… You’ve seen what lies beyond the heavens. The stars do not move for us — we move among them. I means the Earth is not the center of all things.

But such ideas defy powerful voices (the Church, the scholars, the tradition of ages). I was silenced, judged… locked away, not for what I did, but for what I knew.

So I warn you: to follow this path is to stand against the tide. The truth is beautiful — but it is not always safe.

If you're to complete your mission, you must learn who else dared to question the universe...

William Harvey

Born in Folkestone, England in 1578
Studied medicine in Cambridge and Padua.

Discovered that blood circulates in a closed loop pumped by the heart ❤️
Challenged centuries of medical beliefs with bold experiments.

Ah, traveler... you’ve come far. You’ve seen the stars through my lens, followed the rhythm of the heart with Harvey, and uncovered truths once hidden from the world.

You might soon meet René Descartes, a philosopher-mathematician who believes the universe runs like a machine, governed by reason and logic. 'I think, therefore I am,' he says.

And then... Isaac Newton will uncover the laws that hold the cosmos together. Gravity, motion, and more. He will see further because he stands on our shoulders.
