Galileo

From Wikiality, the Truthiness Encyclopedia

Galileo Galilei (15 February 1564 – 8 January 1642) was an Italian physicist, astronomer and heretic who is closely associated with the "scientific" revolution.

Galileo pushed the individualist view that the Earth is not the center of the universe. He believed that the center of what he called a solar system was the sun, and that the Earth revolved around the sun. His views resulted in the Roman Catholic church declaring him a heretic and burning him at the stake.^[1]

Nowadays, patriotic Americans honor Galileo as the patron saint of all things truthy; while the Leftist Scientific Establishment, with its addiction to absolute facts, has become the modern Inquisition.

His most famous invention, the telescope, led to his eventual downfall as he became addicted to the psychotropic drugs which gave it the illusion of "seeing into outer space."
