Cosmos with Neil De Grasse Tyson Premieres Tonight
RE: Cosmos with Neil De Grasse Tyson Premieres Tonight
How to tell the tale of Galileo without mentioning those who wished the Earth to be at the center of the Universe and would have killed Galileo if he kept on divulging his findings?
How to tell the tale of Darwin without mentioning those who wished that all living beings had been created as they are now and would have killed Darwin if he had been born a few hundreds of years earlier?
How to tell the tale of Bohr without mentioning Einstein's refusal to accept the probabilistic nature of quantum phenomena?

How to tell the tale of scientific discovery without mentioning all those in power who opposed the discoveries that came forward through observation and reason and trial and error and careful mathematics and excruciating peer review?
