What distinguishes Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University from other universities is its legacy of providing access to a high-quality, affordable education to many students who otherwise may never have the opportunity to fulfill their dreams of getting a college degree.
The Trial of Galileo. A brilliant scientific mind in 17th century Florence, Galileo was forced to renounce his work and writings concerning the theories of Nicolaus Copernicus, who had suggested that the sun, not Earth, was the center of the universe, according to the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law Web site on Galileo.
One late night in 1991, a group of Scientists in Fremont decided after a few beers that the Center of the Universe was located as the intersection of Fremont Ave and N 35th Street. As a result, this signpost was constructed and has marked the 'center' of the universe ever since.
