eppur_se_muova
(39,052 posts)in the original language, and found this in an Italian magazine after a Google search -- looks like it was some kind of pun, relevant to some article I didn't read, and too late to change without making searches more troublesome ...
At the time, I didn't even consider that Galileo would have spoken the Tuscan dialect, and that the differences among Italian dialects are substantial ... so maybe my nom de net works in some obscure dialect with a handful of surviving speakers ! (This is sort of a variant of the imbiber's "It's five o'clock somewhere" argument.)
(BTW, apparently "e pur si muova" would be correct. Ah, hindsight!)
