Galileo spent many of his last years in house arrest because of his theory about the earth not being the center of the universe.

as judged by the "Intelligencia" of the day; 'the scientific community.'


Soon after publishing; 100 scientists concurred that A. Einstein's Theory of Relativity was wrong.
Einstein's reply to his inner circle - paraphrased; 'Why 100? It only takes one to prove me wrong.'
(btw: Einstein never got a Nobel Prize for any of his work.)
