And Yet It Moves
Galileo Galilei was punished for denying that the Earth was the center of the universe, he used scientific evidence but was up against the Catholic church and some Bible quotes that claimed otherwise. The Catholic Church kind of got around to apologizing almost 400 years later, the Bible though has not released an updated version.
Galileo is also famous for showing that the weight of an object doesn’t affect the speed of its fall, here is an example on the Moon (where there is no wind resistance)-
Galileo is also mentioned in the Beastie Boys classic “The Sounds of Science”
Dropping science like Galileo dropped the orange
The moral of the story is don’t fuck with science because it will eventually get right up to your face and dis you.
