“Galileo I refuse to look through the telescope. Enough! I do not want to hear anything more”—Cesare Cremonini Professor University of Padua

Never refuse evidence from any source.

It was November 30th, 1609 and these drawings were deemed unpublishable and crime.

They contributed to life in prison for the person drawing them.

These are Galileo Galilei’s hand drawn observations of the Moon viewed trough a device deem illegal to point to the night sky.

Consider this old preserved middle finger.

Society agreed the person this finger belonged to must be arrested and never allowed to speak.

He was censored because it was democratically agreed to by the majority.

This is the middle finger of Galileo Galilei.

A 400 year message.
