Quote by David Hilbert
Galileo was no idiot. Only an idiot could believe that science requires martyrdom - that may be necessary in religion, but in time a scientific result will establish itself.
Summary
This quote reflects Galileo's belief in the power of science and reason over blind faith and martyrdom. It highlights the contrast between religion and science by suggesting that while martyrdom may be necessary to uphold religious beliefs, scientific truths will eventually prevail through the evidence and findings they provide. Galileo, known for his contributions to physics and astronomy, dismisses the notion that science requires sacrifice or persecution, implying that scientific results will naturally emerge and assert their validity over time.
