Question

2.Why did it take so long for Galileo’s results to be confirmed

Answer 1

The Church, who governed during this time period, was hesistant to accept Galileo's spatial claims (a heliocentric system). it was later confirmed by Jesuit astronomers.

Answer 2

i just dont get this galileo stuff

Answer 3

because it took that long to go to an environment with no atmosphere, hence no air resistance.

Answer 4

Because scientific study and research was kinda difficult at his time - the church was acting like a hooligan then. They brandished anyone (like they did to Galileo) whose findings conflicted the church's preaching, a traitor.
Publishing one's scientific study in the open was a sure-shot suicide back then.
So, there was hardly anyone who could/would/wanted to check out Galileo's claims.
