The article does so by using the unusual grip of telling a story about the astronomer Galileo Galilei in the middle of a societal change of world-view, supported by the lyrics of a song throughout the article. The song is appropriately enough called "The darling conceptions of your time" and fills what the author calls a “meta-pedagogical” purpose by being released under a Creative Commons licence allowing it to be copied eternally, but never sold.
