Which scientists have been persecuted for their great inventions and discoveries in world history?

15 15 years, Copernicus began to write the book "The Operation of Celestial Bodies". After the completion of the Theory of the Operation of Celestial Bodies, Copernicus hesitated to publish it. He was afraid that the book would be attacked by geocentric believers and suppressed by the Vatican after it was published. With the support and encouragement of friends and students, Copernicus finally decided to publish this book after long and repeated consideration.

1542 In June, the theory of celestial movement and printing began to work. 1543 On May 24th, Copernicus finally saw the newly published theory of celestial bodies. Unfortunately, he was blind because of a cerebral hemorrhage. He only touched the cover of the book and died.

2. Galileo Galilei

From 65438 to 0609, Galileo discovered through his self-made telescope that the moon was not a smooth sphere, and numerous craters and mountains stood on its surface. So he came to the conclusion that, on the whole, celestial bodies are not smooth and perfect, but have uneven surfaces, just like the earth.

Through observation, he saw that the Milky Way as a whole is not a silver cloud, but is made up of many individual stars, which are very far away from us and look blurred to the naked eye.

By observing the planets, he found that there are some rings around Saturn, and there are four satellites orbiting Jupiter. This clearly shows that there may be moving celestial bodies around planets outside the earth. Through observation, he discovered sunspots (in fact, sunspots were observed before him, but the observation results he published were more convincing and attracted the attention of the scientific community).

He found that the profit and loss of the planet cash star is very similar to that of the moon. This is an important evidence of Copernicus' theory that the earth and all other planets revolve around the sun. Because he supported Copernicus, he was opposed by a powerful church. 16 16 was banned from teaching Copernicus.

1633, sentenced to eight years of house arrest by the Vatican Inquisition in Rome, and forced to break with Copernicus again. 1642 65438+1On October 8th, Galileo died.

3. Darwin

Once a Catholic priest, he found himself sorting out and summarizing the theory of evolution and was insulted as a monkey. After his death, Christians still spread rumors that he repented before he died.

As a creative person who doesn't pursue fame, Darwin avoided arguing about his theory. Darwin wrote several books for scientists and psychologists when religious fanatics attacked the theory of evolution as contrary to the biblical theory of creation.

The origin and sexual selection of human beings reports the evidence that human beings evolved from lower life forms, that animals and humans have similar psychological processes, and that natural selection occurred in the process of evolution.

1April 882 19, the great scientist died of illness, and people buried his body next to Newton's grave to show their respect for the scientist.

4. Bruno

He was always associated with "heresy" all his life, and was displaced from place to place for this reason, and was finally burned to death in the Flower Square by the Inquisition. Therefore, he is often regarded as a pioneer in the rise of modern science and a martyr who defended scientific truth and gave his life for it.

But this is a beautiful misunderstanding, because Bruno didn't die because of Heliocentrism of Copernicus. One evidence is that when he was burned to death, the Roman church did not ban Copernicus' theory of celestial movement at all. People often regard the religious forces represented by the inquisition that executed him and the science represented by Copernicus theory that he supported as a pair of sharp opposites.

5. Servit

He refuted Galen's view, which was popular at that time, and proposed that the vitality of life was produced by matter, which originated from the left ventricle and was produced by the lung.

1553, he secretly published the book Christian reductionism. In this book, he denies the trinity from the perspective of monism, and thinks that "if God is divided into three, then God becomes a three-headed monster".

His views were regarded as heresy by Catholics and Christians, and the Inquisition arrested him and sentenced him to the stake. He refused to give up his views and was burned at the stake in Geneva in 1553. All his works went to the execution ground with him and were burned.
