Galileo's support for the heliocentric theory (note that this is Copernicus's theory, not Galileo's) got him into trouble with the Roman Catholic Church. In 1633 the Inquisition convicted him of heresy and forced him to recant (publicly withdraw) his support of Copernicus. They sentenced him to life imprisonment, but because of his advanced age allowed him serve his term under house arrest at his villa in Arcetri outside of Florence.

AddendumHeliocentrism is the theory that the Sun is at the center of the Solar System as opposed to geocentrism, the Church supported theory which put the Earth at the center of the Solar System. Gravitation(improved)Galileo also added the study of Gravitation of twenty objects. One set of ten were the very light things and the other ten were the heavy pair. The people thought that the heavy pair would fall first but instead they fell at the same time!!! So this is the proof or that the gravity is even.
