Happy Birthday, Galilei

Sustermans, Portrait of Galileo Galilei, 1635


Long experience has taught me this about the status of mankind with regard to matters requiring thought: the less people know and understand about them, the more positively they attempt to argue concerning them, while on the other hand to know and understand a multitude of things renders men cautious in passing judgment upon anything new.

Galileo Galilei, born on this day in 1564
