X is Galileo Galilei. A is the Heliocentric Model which he proposed. B is his Inquisition and C is his finger kept preserved in Florence Museum.

Galileo(X) had to face inquisition(b) for defending heliocentrism(a).
His students stole the middle finger off of his corpse and preserved it. The finger points upwards defying all those that oppose the advance of science.

X is galelio. he faced inquisition by the roman catholic(picture 2) church when he gave proofs for coppernicus' heliocentric theory (pic 1). the last pic is his preserved middle finger which was broken off when his body was being transported. so people say that galelio is showing his middle finger to all those who doubted his proofs
