What happens
The notion that the Earth and the planets would revolve around the Sun is an idea Nicolaus Copernicus first wrote about in his book 'De revolutionibus orbium coelestium' in 1543 and now Galileo Galilei has promoted it again, in his book 'Sidereus Nuncius' - 'Starry Messenger'. His controversial championing of this has given him many enemies in the Catholic Church, and although we admit that he would be a most interesting debate opponent, maybe we should be cautious and just imprison him to prevent his ideas from reaching the public?
