strated to an amazed world that two
stones, one small, one large, fell at the
same rate of speed. He also perfected,

discovered the moons of Jupiter. And
he first defended before the church the
Copernician theory, that the earth was
round, when. all respectable citizens,
including the priests, knew perfectly
well it was flat.
For these and other high crimes, the
Catholic church punished Calico Sc
verely, who saved his life by recanting
publicly his doctrine that the earth
moved. Tradition has it that, after he
had done so, he muttered into his
beard, And yet it does novel"
