<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Good morning everyone, and welcome to 26 February, 2024 \u2013\u00a0an important day in the world of science because it was on this day in 1616 that the Roman Inquisition \u2013\u00a0which everyone knew about well in advance \u2013\u00a0informed a chap named Galileo Galilei that his theory of heliocentrism was making God very angry, and must be abandoned.<\/p>\n The other option for Galileo was very unpleasant \u2013\u00a0the Powers That Be said that God wanted him thrown in prison for heresy, for suggesting that the Earth revolved around the sun, which was obvious lunacy because everyone knew that the sun went round the Earth because that\u2019s how God made it, and you could watch it going round during the day.<\/p>\n But, Galileo stuck to his guns for years, defying authorities and continued to try to spread the word that the sun sits at the centre of our solar system, and in 1633 he was tried and found guilty of heresy for his beliefs.<\/p>\n By that time, he wasn\u2019t a well man, and so pleaded with authorities not to send him to prison where he would surely die.<\/p>\n They took a small mercy upon him, and commuted his sentence to life in prison, to be served at home, setting a legal precedent and creating a loophole that has since been employed by several extremely crafty rich people, such as Christopher Skase, Alan Bond and Harvey Weinstein.<\/p>\n But we trust that you\u2019re all good people, and won\u2019t ever need to pretend to be deathly or mentally ill to avoid prison time.
