"the earth is not the centre of the universe. it revolves around the sun, together with some other planets." the catholic church had to find a way to hide this knowledge from ordinary people. in 1559 it published the index liborum prohibitorum ['indeks 'liborum 'prt> hibitnmm], a list of books that were banned for catholics. people who read these books were punished by the inquisition. any books from the list were burned. nowadays the index liborum prohibitorum is open to the public. think of any famous scientist, writer or philosopher — you'll find his name and works on the list.
