. >> safer: galileo turned his eyes and his telescope on the heavens. sunspots. for his insistence that the sun is the center of the universe and the earth moves around it, the church branded him a heretic. >> collins: the pope at that time, pope urban viii, was a very good friend of galileo. said to him, "look, you know, i agree with you. you're right. but i can't approve of this because i'm the pope. and if i go against this, it looks as if i'm going against the bible. and i'm going to shake to the foundation the belief of the world, and the world's christians, not just catholics." >> safer: just 380 years later in 1992, pope john paul ii apologized for the galileo affair. his successor, benedict xvi, has sought middle ground in the centuries-old skirmishes between the church and science. in a sermon, he said even the big bang theory of the creation of the universe is not in conflict with faith because god's mind was behind it. >> this is the tricky, the tricky part... >> safer: and backstage at the pope's library, science is brought to bear on crumbl

when galileo pointed his telescope at saturn and saw these protuberances on the body of the planet, he had no idea what they were. he did not know that rings could have existed. they had never been found before. it took 40 years before someone else determined those could be rings. it is the same thing throughout astronomy, even modern astronomy. there is a period of something that is detected, and there is a long time to determine what it really is and longer to understand what it is. the lesson i learned from that is that when we detect a signal, or a microbe, or fossils as the case of the mars rock shows, it will be an extended process, over years, before we know what it is. >> your third area of research? >> analogy. it is easy to get sucked into this. analogy covers a broad area. i should say first that analogy -- a lot of people when you say analogy, they think it is a wishy-washy argument. it is not that at all. douglas hostettler, the pulitzer has written a file analogy as fuel and fire of thinking. that we use analogy all the time and we do not realize it. in the science part,

she went to washington elementary school and because of her age she was quickly promoted to galileo high school and during this time she joined mun shing the democratic youth league not too different from the chinese association. at the time of that organization mun shing was subjected to surveillance and harassment by the federal government and fbi and elements of the chinese community itself. with the mun shing laura became active in drama and theatre and there she met her husband who she married after high school. laura lie worked for pg & e before retiring in 1995. throughout their married life, she was his main companions and assistant and partner. her astute management of their finances allowed them to accumulate an amazing library but also made it possible for her husband to retire early so he can become a full time people historian and she joined him in his research throughout the world. laura continued to support their favorite community based organization like the chinese cultural center, chinese historical society and the chinese association as well. her powerful spirit, devot

one former teacher who was voted most popular teacher at galileo and lowell high school is now living in minnesota because he could not face a place to live after facing eviction in the home he had been in over 30 years. in past three weeks i have been to five or six events in my neighborhood in the mission about housing specifically. with groups like justice and others had a forum that was started by the faculty and parents the buena vista horace man school and that meeting that filled the auditorium with a number of teachers, paraprofessionals and parents, there was a commonality, a common concern about whether any of you could stay in the city that we teach and live in and in which we want to grow our children in the classroom and at home and work together for their future? there is joint responsibility for teachers and parents and our students to thrive in this town. and it's a pre-cursor to the education of this city of ours, san francisco, that educators can afford to live in this city. we're now involved in how many months' of contract negotiations? in a year, in which the dist

the founder of modern science, galileo, work in florence.t is the freshness of their thought, their modernity, which impresses us today. but there is another side to the story. civilized human life depends not only on modernity, but on a healthy assimilation of the past, both critical and imaginative. the middle ages had proved incapable of doing that, but here, in the florentine renaissance, we can see the reintegration of the classical world view into modern life-- not merely their learning, but their pagan humanism and their pantheism, with its incomparably rich mythological themes, which, as we now understand, contain such profound psychological insights. what we see here in florence is what they made of that tradition, just as this is what we are making of them, but its continued reinterpretation is a necessity for the west if it is to understand its own cultural tradition. the art of renaissance florence came out of the city-states of central italy. by contrast, our story of art in northern europe begins in the late medieval courts of
