Lad os huske på, at Galileo, da han i det 17. århundrede erklærede, at Jorden drejede rundt om Solen, blev truet med tortur af den katolske kirke for at vove at modsige den vedtagne kendsgerning, at Jorden var universets centrum.
Let us remember that, when Galileo declared in the 17th century that the earth revolved around the sun, he was threatened with torture by the Catholic Church for daring to contradict the accepted fact that the earth was at the centre of the universe.
