Isn't his hand on display somewhere? I read about it the other day. Its on display with the chair he used to give his lectures from and some other of his possessions. Couldn't they just scrape DNA from that and be happy?
This is the same thing they did in Egypt with the Pharaohs and the like. Just a bunch of grave robbers, swindlers and get rich quick merchants!! Utterly shameless.
RIP Galileo Galilei
PS Isn't it strange that it seems like we all call him by his first name, or is it his last name?
