#galileosmiddlefinger — Public Fediverse posts

This is the original middle finger of the right hand of #GalileoGalilei as it can be seen in the #MuseoGalileo, Istituto e Museo di Storia della Scienza in #Florence:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo%27s_middle_finger

My personal highlight of this trip to Italy so far.

Yes, the #middlefinger gesture is old enough. Even old greeks and romans used it:

Maybe this (and the #catholicchurch forcing him to publicly revoke his findings) is why somebody decided to steal this part of his body when he was moved years after his death.

From now on, this picture will be awarded by me to anybody who is talking bullshit that was scientifically proven wrong already.
