Last year's Question of the day (16-Jul-11)
The prohibition against heretical ideas is strongest when the group in power is nervous. The irony of Galileo's situation was that he got in trouble with the church for repeating Copernicus's ideas. Copernicus himself didn't. In fact, Copernicus was a canon of a cathedral, and dedicated his book to the pope. But by Galileo's time the church was in the throes of the Counter-Reformation and was much more worried about unorthodox ideas.

Which of the following can be concluded from the given passage?
OPTIONS
 
 1)It is best not to espouse unorthodox ideas against a strong orthodoxy such as the Church.
 2)Timing plays an important role in whether or not unorthodox ideas are accepted by society.
 3)Even if Galileo's ideas were not accepted by the church in his time, history has vindicated him thoroughly.
 4)If Galileo had also been a canon of a cathedral like Copernicus, he wouldn't have got into trouble with the church.
 5)Galileo got into trouble with the church for espousing Copernicus's ideas, while the latter didn't, because in Galileo's time, the church was much more threatened by these ideas.
