Dzhordano Filippo Bruno (1548-1600) was One of those who has paid a life for the free-thinking and scientific boldness. Through one thousand years after Demokrita he has stated idea of infinity of the Universe and plurality of the manned worlds. Trusted in boundless possibilities of human spirit and a never-ending way of knowledge.
Bruno in a family of a small Italian nobleman in small town Nola to the east from Naples Was born; went to school in Naples, in 14 years became the student of university, and with 17 - it was trained at monastic school, having ended which has received degree of the doctor of philosophy and a curacy. Independence of judgements and the proud customs, repeatedly leading to conflicts, have compelled Bruno to run from Italy. He gave lectures in Toulouse, Paris, Oxford, universities of Germany.
He did not admire authorities (Platon! Aristotle!), did not abuse them, but at the same time did not wish them to trust without proofs. A picture and an essence of the Universe of Bruno represented so: ' the Universe is uniform, infinite, эхяюфтшцэр... She is not born, for there is no other life which she could wish and expect as possesses the с№=шхь... it is everything, there is the greatest, uniform, is -ёхыхээр ... it is silly and ridiculous to consider, as if there can not be other beings, other kinds of reason, rather than that are accessible to our feelings.
Other worlds as are lived, as well as this '.
Naturally, similar views could not be interpreted differently, as heresy. Bruno has fearlessly accepted Martyr death on an inquisition fire in Rome. He knew: ' My creations will live until the Earth will turn the vivifying surface to an eternal show of other shining stars. The death in one century spares a life in all future centuries '.
