Many years ago, humans believed the Earth was flat, the
universe revolved around our little planet, and religion was deeply ingrained
in science. Challenging such beliefs was practically a death wish. Such
scientists like Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, and Isaac Newton defied all
odds, persecution, and threat of death to discover the true depths of the
universe.
