Radio, the media with the greatest penetration on the planet, was born in a surprising way: in a peripheral country, far from the great centers of science. The feat was accomplished by a brazilian Catholic priest who worked alone and had few resources. At the end of the 19th century, Roberto Landell de Moura was the protagonist of at least two of the oldest voice transmissions over radio waves in history. Fighting against everything and everyone – they even destroyed his devices because he was “a priest who spoke with the devil” – he patented his inventions in Brazil and the USA. Even so, he didn´t receive no financial support. It´s one more example of the secular conflict between denialism and science.
