History

Some years ago, I discovered in the heavens many things that had not been seen before our own age. The novelty of these things, as well as
some consequences which followed from them in contradiction to the
physical notions commonly held among academic philosophers, stirred
up against me no small number of professors - as if I had placed these
things in the sky with my own hands in order to upset nature and
overturn the sciences. They seemed to forget that the increase of known
truths stimulates the investigation, establishment, and growth of the
arts, not their diminution [lessening) or destruction. Showing a greater
fondness for their own opinions than for truth, they sought to deny and
disprove the new things which, if they had cared to look for themselves,
their own senses would have demonstrated to them.
