Idiomatically, turned out is the only credible alternative here. We'd normally only use worked out [all right] (and to a lesser extent, came out) in contexts where we're talking about a practical method that people were initially sceptical of, but which actually produced "right"/good results when used. Not when we mean it was [subsequently recognised to be] correct.

As indicated by @FumbleFingers in his comment, turned out is appropriate, and came out is not in the example given.
There is a related meaning for come out that seems as if it might apply
to yield a satisfactory solution ⇒ these sums just won't come out
However, come out is usually used to describe the result of an active process, such as the calculation in the example, rather than a more theoretical analysis by Galileo. It is often used to describe recipes or manufacturing operations.
How did the pie come out?
In almost all cases, turn out can be used in place of come out, but the obverse is not true.

Idiomatically, turned out is the only credible alternative here. We'd normally only use worked out [all right] (and to a lesser extent, came out) in contexts where we're talking about a practical method that people were initially sceptical of, but which actually produced "right"/good results when used. Not when we mean it was [subsequently recognised to be] correct.
