Chapter 1: Meet Galileo

Allow me to introduce myself: I am Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaulti de Galilei. Perhaps my name rings a bell?

As for my age, one might argue that it’s merely a construct, wouldn’t you agree?

Professionally, I hold the title of the father of observational astronomy, modern physics, and the scientific method, among other accolades.

Do I converse in languages beyond English? Indeed!

Have I ever tried out for a reality show or acted in a film? This is my inaugural venture into the realm of modern fame, a sort of comeback, if you will.

Currently, I am under house arrest, a consequence of my alleged heresy. I prefer not to mention this to the lovely ladies on the show, as it may cause unnecessary alarm.

As for my income, after a run-in with the Roman Inquisition in 1632—when they challenged my heliocentric claims and I boldly stated, “I am NOT here to make friends!”—I lost most of my wealth. Nonetheless, I still possess my telescope, the military compass I invented, and a survival crest from the Black Plague.

What is my highest educational achievement? Considering I discovered Jupiter's four moons and laid the groundwork for Einstein's theory of relativity (plus, I was once a Grand Duke), I find the question somewhat absurd, if not insulting.

Have I faced legal troubles? Yes, once again, I have. I was charged with heresy for asserting that the Earth revolves around the Sun, but in a twist of fate, the Pope acknowledged my correctness in 1992.

Did I ever marry? Technically, no, but I had three children with a woman whose lineage didn’t meet my family’s standards. Scholars were expected to remain single, and she passed away.

Do I have children? Yes, I have two daughters who are nuns and a rebellious son who aspires to be a musician. I cautioned him that a lyre might not be the best choice, suggesting, “You’d do better with a harp, Vincenzo.” The convent is strict about visitors, but I’ve hinted at a potential “home visit” if I secure a spot on The Bachelor, and they are thrilled at the possibility.

What achievements am I most proud of? My telescope allowed me to unveil the Milky Way, and I disproved Aristotle's theory that heavier objects fall faster. I also stood my ground against the Inquisition’s claims about my theories regarding the Earth and the Sun. My telescopic observations of Venus's phases were another highlight.

Am I genuinely in search of love? Why would anyone pretend otherwise? Since the Pope retracted the Inquisition's erroneous claims, I feel rejuvenated and am eager to find my true love in the 21st century.
