Huh? Copernicus died in his home when he was in his 70s. Galileo died of old age as well. Tycho Brahe died from politeness.

Bruno was burned because he was a hermetic mystic and didn't really prove anything significant about the planets.

Well I'm glad Bruno died. Those hermetic mystics had it coming, and not proving anything significant is basically high treason to science, fully deserving immediate immolation!

My point is that although a lot of people want him to be because it fits the narrative, he is a remarkably poorly martyr for science.
