The other day I read a thing about Galileo Galilei.
He was put in front of the Roman Inquisition for having said that the earth was moving around the sun. The church did not like these thoughts.
He had to announce publicly that he had made a mistake and that the Earth was still the center of universe.
You can now call him a coward for recanting his words instead of facing the torture and eventually death. But he knew that it did not matter what he said.
Nothing could change that the world was not the center of the universe. He or the church could not say anything that would change that the Earth was not the center of the universe.
I would guess he was having a laugh for him self and there is roumors that he had said quietly at the end of the inquisition "it still turns"
