Abstract
While considered a dangerous heretic during the Italian Renaissance, Galileo Galilei is revered in the distant future by the inhabitants od Jupiter's moons. Following his construction of the telescope, he is whisked away to a future Europa by a Jovian named Ganymede. This political radical wishes to take Galileo on a trip through history to ensure that science continues its ascendancy over religion. And this mission must be fulfilled at all costs - even if it means Galileo's demise during his own time
