"Epur si muove" is an Italian phrase that translates to "And yet it moves" in English. It is attributed to the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei, who reportedly uttered these words after being forced to recant his support for the heliocentric model of the solar system by the Catholic Church during the Inquisition.

The phrase is often interpreted as a defiant statement asserting that despite being silenced and facing persecution, the truth remains unchanged. It symbolizes Galileo's unwavering belief in his scientific observations and theories, particularly regarding the Earth's movement around the Sun.
