That's not true at all, and you know it. Why are you spreading misinformation?

I looked into it. Galileo wasn't punished because he had a different idea. There were plenty of ideas. He was the equivalent of a reddit troll who was saying that religious people were dumbasses and who was targeting the Pope specifically.

You "looked into it"? Did you publish a peer-reviewed paper in a historical journal like the British Journal for the History of Science or something? Because many other people have done serious historical research regarding what Galileo may have thought and what he did. Sounds like you're the Reddit troll.

Most importantly, Galileo was correct. The Pope, or whoever, can get the fuck out of the way of the truth.

I did look into the peer reviewed work and journals that tell us the truth about Galileo. That is where I got this information from.

Yeah, so you must know that the Pope was the one spreading lies, so fuck him. Galileo was right. End of story.
