As you may recall from your history lessons, when Copernicus, Galileo, Keppler
and others tried to convince the 16th Century World that the earth revolves
around the sun, they met some severe opposition. Galileo was forced eventually
to recant his scientific support of Copernican theory and lived the last years
of his life under house arrest. The clash of societal opinion and science did
not end with Galileo. Scientists through the years have been frustrated by the
inability of public understanding to keep pace with discovery.
