“My doctrines exist to rid maternity hospitals of their horror, to preserve the wife for her husband and the mother for her child.” — Ignaz Semmelweis

QUICK FACTS
In 19th-century Europe, many women died of childbed fever, a scourge with mortality rates of up to 30 percent.

Microbes had been observed under a microscope as early as 1674, but their dangers had not been fully understood. It was common practice for doctors to deliver babies right after performing autopsies, without first sterilizing their hands.

Semmelweis introduced handwashing into medical practice, thus saving countless lives. – Jw.org

Despite various publications of results where hand washing reduced mortality to below 1%, Semmelweis's observations conflicted with the established scientific and medical opinions of the time and his ideas were rejected by the medical community. Some doctors were offended at the suggestion that they should wash their hands and Semmelweis could offer no acceptable scientific explanation for his findings.

Semmelweis's practice earned widespread acceptance only years after his death, when Louis Pasteur confirmed the germ theory and Joseph Lister, acting on the French microbiologist's research, practiced and operated, using hygienic methods, with great success. In 1865, Semmelweis was committed to an asylum, where he died at age 47 of pyaemia, after being beaten by the guards, only 14 days after he was committed. – from Wikipedia

Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer, physicist, engineer, philosopher, and mathematician who played a major role in the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century. He has been called the "father of observational astronomy", the "father of modern physics", and the "father of science."

Galilei championed the cause that the sun is the center of the universe. The matter was investigated by the Roman Inquisition in 1615, which concluded that heliocentrism was "foolish and absurd in philosophy, and formally heretical since it explicitly contradicts in many places the sense of Holy Scripture. Galileo later defended his views in Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, which appeared to attack Pope Urban VIII and thus alienated him and the Jesuits, who had both supported Galileo up until this point. He was tried by the Inquisition, found "vehemently suspect of heresy", and forced to recant. He spent the rest of his life under house arrest. – Wikipedia
