Re: [Phys-l] Galileo was wrong

[Joseph Bellina <inquirybellina@comcast.net>]

bc,
Its not a hoax.  The conference has been mentioned here in South  
Bend.  If you look at Dean's page you will see that the organizers  
make a point of it being near Notre Dame.  I suspect the two reason's  
for that are one that ND is not catholic enough for the organizers  
and for years one of the world experts on Galileo and the church ran  
the History of the Philosophy of Science Program at Notre Dame.  I  
think it is bait to get some press.  Most of us here don't plan to  
take the bait.  Besides they want $50 to attend, and I'm not  
interested in contributing to a diatribe by right wing types.
