human sorrow

The rise of Christianity was so bloody and violent. Numerous scientific books were burned and scientists were persecuted. Hypatia said, "I don't believe in God, I believe in philosophy," and science is her belief. She found out that the earth was moving in an elliptical orbit, but before she could make it public, she was brutally executed by the mob without a whole corpse. Her writings are also rarely circulated. Since then, under the strong oppression of religion, science has become dark. It was not until the 17th century that this theory was finally proposed and proved by Kepler. This is the tragedy of human civilization.
