 His cosmological theories went beyond the

copernicanmodel:
while
supporting
its
heliocentrism, he also correctly proposed that
the Sunwas just another star moving in space,
and claimed as well that the universe
contained an infinite number of inhabited
worlds populated by other intelligent beings.

 The Roman Inquisition found

him guilty of heresy and he
was burned at the stake.

 Decid, cal es mi crimen? lo sospechis siquiera?

Y me acusis, sabiendo que nunca delinqu!
Quemadme, que maana, donde encendis la
hoguera,
Levantar la historia una estatua para m.
Yo s que me condena vuestra demencia suma,
Por qu?Porque las luces busqu de la verdad,
soy yo porque la historia dir en lo porvenir;
Respeto a los que mueren como muriera Bruno
Y en cambio vuestros nombresQuin los podr
decir?
