The City of the Sun, by Tommaso Campanella [1568-1639], was originally written in Italian in 1602, just after he was condemned to life imprisonment for sedition and heresy. The original manuscript is in the Bibliotheca Govemativa, Lucca, Tuscany. It was later revised and a Latin version was written in 1613-14. The first printed edition in Latin was issued at Frankfurt in 1623. This is one of the most important utopias, and may have influenced Bacon s New Atlantis. This English version was prepared by Kirk Crady from scanner output provided by Internet Wiretap."...

A historical novel based on the life of the very real Italian occultist, 1743-1795, who was a self-styled mystic, healer, leader of an exotic brand of Freemasonry was arrested for heresy in 1791 on the order of Pope Pius VI and spent the last five years of his life in prison. Count Alessandro Cagliostro s real name was Giuseppe Balsamo. Born in Palermo in 1743, he studied alchemy and sold elixirs and potions all over Europe, and became the rage of Paris society as they flocked to his Seances. He became implicated in the "Affair of the Diamond Necklace" in 1785-6 and was banished from France. 

Worse, there seems to be an active antipathy to such investigations just look at the firestorm we aroused by publishing a very small and innocuous study of the fundamental behavior of a particular data system In fact, from the response, you would almost think we committed heresy or attacked religious beliefs, in daring to suggest that PCR/PLS was not always the best way to go, much less do some serious research on the subject.

When a critical number of thinkers has accepted the new idea, a collective paradigm shift has occurred.—From The Aquarian Conspiracy by Marilyn Ferguson...

In 1624 the French chemist Etienne de Clave was arrested for heresy. De Clave s inadmissible ideas did not concern the interpretation of holy scripture. Nor were they of a political nature. They did not even challenge the place of man in the universe, as Galileo was doing so boldly. 

Remember also, that, as pointed out by Blass and Halsey (1981), deconvolution can be used to achieve resolution otherwise unavailable or to obtain a specific required resolution using hardware with a factor of 2 to 3 less in resolving power. To the dedicated experimental scientist this may sound like heresy. We are sure that in 1984 such reactions are not uncommon in 1994 it is likely that most observational devices will have a deconvolution processor imbedded in them and that the deconvolution processor will, in fact, be thought of as an integral part of the experimental apparatus. 

Giordano Bruno (1548-1600 CE) was a member of the Dominican order. His views on atoms had both metaphysical and physical aspects atoms are both the ultimate, indeterminate, substance of things and a hypothesis that can be used to explain variety in the material world (even though only earth, among the four elements, has atoms). Each kind of being had a minimum or unit, although only God is a hue monad the point was the minimum of space, the atom the minimum of matter. Bruno s atoms are spherical, and their motions due to a soul in each. He was burnt ahve for heresy on February 17, 1600, in Rome (57). 

Macoun, Robert J., and Peter Reuter. Drug War Heresies Learning from Other Vices, Times, ir Places. New York Cambridge University Press, 2001. The authors present an objective, historical, and data-driven analysis of many aspects of drug use and drug control policy. They compare the current punitive / prohibitionist approach in the United States to the less punitive, harm reduction-oriented policies of western European nations. Many factors and gradations of policies are explored, with detailed discussion of effects and tradeoffs. 

The reader who is shocked by the heresy of a probability distribution that is not normalized to unity can be pacified in two ways. First he may interpret pn as the density of an ensemble of independent particles, each conducting a random walk until it disappears into the pit. The non-conservation (7.2) then simply tells us that the total number of remaining particles decreases.
