name one person who was killed for saying the earth moves round the sun?

Question

He proposed contrary to church believe that the earth moves round the sun.

Answer 1

galileo galilei

Answer 2

Both Sciences of Copernicus and Ptolomy were not mutually exclusive they were both right and wrong.To Say that the earth revolve around the sun Or the Sun revolves around the Earth was not exactly correct in both theories.
REALITY=Today we know better. The Earth -Sun System involves a balance of gravity energy between the two gravitational masses. This balance is maintained at a point of fulcrum called barry center . So both the Sun & the Earth revolve around this common point at the same angular velocity.
As far as getting killed due to bureaucracy in those days is no different then today. You can be tortured to death by rent control system in New York just because you did not put the right dot on their application forms,let alone the rest of our legal system who are reponsible for putting convicts which are innocent to death. Its not an easy world. One must be Realistic about matters.

Answer 3

Galileo was most definitely NOT killed but died of natural causes in his own bed at home. Giordan Bruno is often put forward as a person suffering this fate but the truth is that Bruno's scientific theories weren't what got him killed. Sure, his refusal to recant his belief in a plurality of worlds contributed to his sentence. But it's important to note that the Catholic Church didn't even have an official position on the heliocentric universe in 1600, and support for it was not considered heresy during Bruno's trial.

On top of that, his support for Copernican cosmology was the least heretical position he propagated. His opinions on theology were far more pyrotechnic. For example, Bruno (a friar) suggested that Satan was destined to be saved and redeemed by God. He didn't think Jesus was the son of God, but rather “an unusually skilled magician.” He even publicly disputed Mary's virginity. The Church could let astronomical theories slide, but calling the Mother of God out on her sex life? There's no doubt that these were the ideas that landed Bruno on the stake.

Bruno was a walking, talking insult, with a black belt in burning bridges. He constantly ranted about how idiotic his fellow friars were, calling them asses and lamenting their adherence to Catholic doctrine.

For years, he'd set up shop in some city, find new patrons, and promptly make enemies of them with his combative sarcasm and relentless arguments. Even fellow Copernican pioneers Galileo and Kepler had no love for Bruno. In fact, in light of his difficult personality, it's kind of a mystery that he survived as long as he did.

Answer 4

Giordano Bruno became convicted of heresy, especially by technique of practise the plurality of worlds - 'a doctrine repugnant to the tenor of Scripture and opposite to printed faith and fantastically to the plan of salvation'. Pope Clement VIII hence ordered that he be sentenced as an 'impertinent and pernicious heretic'. On 8 February 1600, the sentence became examine to him. He became to be added to the secular authorities to be punished 'as mercifully as accessible, and without the laying off of his blood'. This became the smooth euphemism for burning on the stake.

Answer 5

Well, kids, Gallileo was bright enough to resign his ideas. It was then, under his breath, that he uttered the famous words "...and the turtle moves!"
The pitty is that the church managed to kill all those people BEFORE they got prominent enough for us to still know the names.
Do you know about a famous basket ball player who was aborted?

Answer 6

Gallileo . . . I think. I'm pretty sure it was him. His findings challenged those of the church and he was both persecuted and exectuded for heresy.

It was either him or Copernicus. It's been a while since astronomy class, and history class, too.

Answer 7

Gallileo

Answer 8

Frank Brown from Harlem USA

Answer 9

Copernicus was persecuted Galio was killed for his findings based on Copernicus' work

Answer 10

Galileo was not put to death over the theory but he was held under house arrest for it

Answer 11

Someone was actually killed for saying that? That's interesting. Sorry can't answer, but I would like to know the answer!
