Perils of thinking outside the box: Exhibit A, Giordano Bruno, d Feb 17 1600.

Giordano Bruno was one of the first humans to intuit and thus consciously occupy the universe in its full immensity. Thus he seemed to his contemporaries to be like an alien from a different world. And so they killed him. Charged with heresy, burned in Rome on Feb 17 1600.
