Book 2. The Bath School. Introduction, or the wish in the reality 12 2. Anaxagoras was persecuted, since he dared to teach that the sun is much larger than Peloponnese 2 . 3. Vasco Núñez de Balboa was the first European to see the Pacific on September 23, 1513, having overcome the jungle and mountains of the Panama Isthmus with great difficulties. He was awarded for his feat a loop - hanging on a false denunciation. 4. In 1600, the great Giordano Bruno said: "I am a member of a non-existing academy, and I do not have colleagues among the holy father’s obscurantism!" The result was tragic - he was burned alive. After all, you can not say that the universe is infinite, filled with an infinite number of worlds and is divine in its totality! 5. Galileo aroused the indignation of the professors of Florence by saying that there was a kind of planet of Jupiter and the moons of this planet that he had discovered. "The leading lights in science" tried in vain, seeking renunciation and exposing Galileo to sophisticated tortures for his assertion that the Earth is round and revolves around its axis. As you know, Galileo "under the curtain" gave up his renunciation. "And yet it spins!" The play, organized by the masters of the minds of that era, failed. 6. Cardinals, astronomers and scientists in the times of Giordano Bruno and Galileo refused to look through the telescope, since the apparatus could not show what it could not (and most important, it must not!) be. And also because they were afraid to be forced to recognize their previous conception of the Universe as erroneous. Everyone could clearly see that the sun revolves around the Earth! How can one object to evidence? 7. In the 16th century the Spaniard Miguel Servet nearly solved the riddle of blood circulation, but did not have time – he was also burned in fire. Therefore, this discovery was made much later... 8. In Italy , a "crusade" was declared against those who were the first to wear glasses, since it was believed that "glasses are devilry!" 9. Columbus was cursed and excommunicated from the church in Salamanca for claiming that the Earth is round. All the "scientists" of that time believed that his journey was an insane undertaking, because he would fall off the edge of the Earth! .. But for some reason he did not fall down. 10. Galvani at his time was scornfully called "a frogs’ dance teacher" by the "scientists" for his experiments on the effect of electric current on the neuromuscular tissue of a frog. 2 Peloponnese – the medieval name of the southern part of the Balkan Peninsula, connected with it by the Corinthian Isthmus .
