Galileo Galilei is one of the well-respected scientists of all times, he supported the idea of the heliocentric view that Nicholas Copernicus had created and had a strong evidence for it. However when he was sure of all his researches, he showed all his evidence that the heliocentric view was in fact true, but the Catholic church did not let go of the geocentric view. Galileo has done something that anyone can learn a lesson from. The Church had threatened him into forgetting all those researches or he would be killed and he did as they said so in order to be spared, but he did not stop and continued teaching behind the Church's back. What he has done was fighting for what he believed in while being aware of the consequences.
