John Heilbron on the Ghost of Galileo | Episode 12 | The Side Comment
In this podcast, John Heilbron explores a coded reference to Galileo found in a painting that hangs in an English country house, and how its discovery led him to uncover many additional curiosities about the artwork, its sitters, its painter, and the world in which they lived.

He writes about the history of the physical sciences and their wider cultural context from the 17th to the 20th centuries, and has published the definitive biography of Galileo (OUP, 2010), as well as The History of Physics: A Very Short Introduction (OUP, 2018), and Niels Bohr: A Very Short Introduction, (OUP, 2020) .
