galileo

Galileo was punished for his views of taking Copernicus’ theory seriously.
He observed the moons of jupiter which proved that not everything went around the earth.
In 1610, Galileo stated his opinion in public that the sun is the center of the solar system
He was punished by the Church by being sent to prison for the rest of his life.
Now more than 300 years later he is being punished again for plagiarism.
We should stop the punishing and leave this great man alone and respect his great achievements in science
