Galileo, in trying to explain the movement of the Earth around the sun to Andrea, conducts an "experiment." Galileo places Andrea in a chair and states that the wash-basin is the sun. Galileo then picks up Andrea and the chair and moves them around the sun in trying to show Andrea how the Earth moves.
