@moonbus saidGiordano Bruno
From frogstomp’s profile:
This entire globe, this star, not being subject to death, and dissolution and annihilation being impossible anywhere in Nature, from time to time renews itself by changing and altering all its parts. There is no absolute up or down, as Aristotle taught; no absolute position in space; but the position of a body is relative to that of other bodies. ...[text shortened]... tion throughout the universe, and the observer is always at the center of thing.
Rest In Peace.
An educated man, this.
Well-done, @frogstomp, RIP.
Condolences, No1

@no1marauder saidBruno tended towards mysticism. The Church hierarchy was too stupid to understand him and basically convicted him of their own stupidity.
