Pope Gregory
Galileo Galilei was a scientist during the Italian Renaissance of the 15th and 16th centuries. He is considered to have founded modern physics and modern astronomy, in addition to pioneering the concept of gravity. Like Pope Gregory, he is a character in the medieval level of the Three-Body game. In the video game, he emphasizes the need for observation and experiment while also dismissing all Eastern thought as unscientific. He thus undercuts his argument for rationality with his irrational prejudice.

“This is Galileo,” said Aristotle. “He advocates understanding the world through observation and experiment. He is an unimaginative thinker, but his results demand our attention.”
“Mozi also conducted experiments and observations,” Wang said.
Galileo snorted. “Mozi’s way of thinking was still Eastern. He was nothing more than a mystic dressed as a scientist. He never took his own observation data seriously, and he constructed his model based on subjective speculation. Ridiculous!”
