Well yes, but using the tool he made you could argue that very few would deny it since the truth became so obvious. Even if it was known a long time before that

Well yes, but using the tool he made you could argue that very few would deny it since the truth became so obvious. Even if it was known a long time before that, a lot of people still believed that the earth was flat.
With increased technology it was easily disproven.
- antientropic 9y agoDo you have a source for the claim that a lot of people believed the Earth was flat in Galileo's time? (Galileo was born decades after the Magellan-Elcano circumnavigation of the world.)
- staticelf 9y agoSorry, it seems you are correct and I was wrong. I mixed up the idea of the geocentric model and thought the flat earth theory was included in that. My bad and thanks for correcting and enlightning me :)
