……更糟糕的是：判决书中明确指出，地球绕太阳转“在哲学上是荒谬和虚妄的命题，且此前已被定为异端”，而当时哥白尼的《天体运行论》（De revolutionibus orbium coelestium）早就被列入禁书目录了。你的意思是教会其实知道伽利略是对的，却还是这么干了？
…make things even worse: The sentencing clearly states that the earth revolving around the sun "is a proposition absurd and false in philosophy, and formerly heretical", and by that time, Copernicus's De revolutionibus orbium coelestium had already been placed on the Index of Prohibited Books. Are you saying the church actually knew Galileo was right, and did this anyway?
……现代科学并没有违背 500 年前被认为是最顶尖物理知识的任何原则吗？我们这里说的可是 1512 年，也就是哥白尼开始撰写后来成为《天体运行论》（De revolutionibus orbium coelestium）的那一年。此后实际上又过了近 150 年，人们才开始考虑用平方反比定律来解释行星的运动。顺便说一句，猎巫运动的经典时期是 1480 年到 1750 年，……
…modern science does not violate any principle of what was considered the best of physics knowledge 500 years ago? We are talking about 1512 here, the year Copernicus started writing what would turn into De revolutionibus orbium coelestium. It would take practically another 150 years for people to start thinking about explaining the motion of planets with an inverse square law. For the record, the classical period of witch hunt was 1480-1750,…
……设想一下哥白尼提出了类似 Hutter Prize 的想法，并宣布谁能压缩他那本关于行星绕日本轮运动的书（《天体运行论》，De revolutionibus orbium coelestium）的文本，就把奖颁给谁。今天我们只要用一句在那个时代也能被理解的话，就能高度精确地解释实际的运动：“太阳与任何行星的连线在相等的时间内扫过相等的面积……
…suppose Copernicus came up with this Hutter prize idea and declared that he would provide the award to whoever could compress the text of his book on the epicycle-based movement of planets around the sun (De revolutionibus orbium coelestium). Today we can explain the actual motion to high accuracy with a single sentence that would have been understandable in that age: "A line drawn from the sun to any planet sweeps out equal areas in equal…
