For all you who put Galileo, I think you are getting confused. He said the Earth was not the center of the universe, that it rotated around the sun. He also said that he could see satellites rotating around Jupiter. The Inquisition silenced him, and he never said anything else. Pope John Paul II recanted what the Inquisition said, too little, too late.

Pythagoras:
Pythagoras (b. 570 BC) found harmony in the universe and sought to explain it. He reasoned that Earth and the other planets me must be spheres, since the most harmonious geometric form was a circle.

I think you mean Galileo Galilei - who got into trouble for saying that the sun goes round the earth

Pythagoras. And I believe you mean "persecuted," not prosecuted.
