Geologists Unite Against Heresy
1 . The section title means “and yet it moves.” It served as the epigraph to R. A. Daly, Our
Mobile Earth (Scribner, 1926). Galileo is said to have uttered these words at the end of his trial
before the Inquisition, after being forced to recant his belief that the Earth moves around the
Sun.
