between three philosophers, Salviati, a proponent of the Copernican model,
Simplicio, a proponent of the Ptolemaic model, and Sagredo, who was initially
open-minded and neutral. In this paper, I am going to use Galileo's idea to

the view that , Professor Simpson, a proponent of
the view that , and Judge Wapner, who is initially
open-minded and neutral.Comment: 5 page
