## Bio

Born Filippo Bruno in February 1548 in Naples, he became a Dominican priest before his restless cosmological thinking pushed him toward heresy. He embraced the Copernican model and extended it radically: the stars were suns, surrounded by exoplanets that might hold life, and the universe had no center and no edge. His pantheism, his rejection of the Trinity and eternal damnation, and his belief in the reincarnation of the soul brought him before the Roman Inquisition. Charged with denying core Catholic doctrine, he was found guilty and burned in Rome's Campo de' Fiori on 17 February 1600. Centuries later he became a symbol — claimed as a martyr for science by some, though historians still argue whether Rome killed him for his cosmology or his theology. Either way, the case became a landmark in the history of free thought.
