300 non-practitioners and intellectual hangers on REEEEEEEEE at someone saying something they don't like.
What is the history of major advances in science? One ostracized dude with a novel theory that runs counter to established narrative that eventually gets proven right in the end. The guy who came up with the germ theory of disease was one such dude, he was forcibly committed and died in an insane asylum. We all know about Galileo. Alfred Wegener came up with plate tectonics in 1912, and was dismissed.
Establishment science always attacks the novel theory. These 300 people are no different, and are just as wrong as those in the past.

Gallileo was actually wrong.
His models were complete garbage.
He used CIRCULAR orbits.
He was literally peer reviewed by the inquisition and their Geocentric models were more mathematically sound.

This just makes me believe we'll discover faster-than-light travel someday.
Possibly, though it irks me that Gallileo gets credit for something Copernicus discovered, merely because those in power hate the Church.
