OT:DougS,Bag8ger

A couple of nits.

First, it is often maintained that Bruno was executed because of his Copernicanism and his belief in the infinity of inhabited worlds. In fact, we do not know the exact grounds on which he was declared a heretic because his file is missing from the records. Scientists such as Galileo and Kepler were not sympathetic to Bruno in their writings.

Second, bag8ger, he did not claim that the unverse was infinite but that there was an infinity of inhabited worlds. This is incorrect. There is also not an infinity of stars. While 70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 is a lot of stars, it is less than half of infinity.lol
