Hey GaryW- interesting little sidelight on Galileo- he got in trouble AGAIN, late in life - he had a theory about the compostion of stuff, sort of a groping toward atomic theory. Somehow the church decided this was a threat to the doctrine of trans-substantiation in the eucharist, so they hassled him. Not as bad that time, tho.
