The Pythagorean dissenter, known as Hippasus of Metapontum, was reportedly put to death for revealing the existence of Irrational Numbers, which contradicted the Pythagorean belief that all numbers could be expressed as ratios of integers. According to legend, Pythagoreans believed this revelation threatened their philosophical doctrine, leading to Hippasus's punishment. The exact details of his death are not well-documented, but it is often said that he was drowned at sea or met a similar fate. This story highlights the tension between mathematical discovery and the prevailing philosophical beliefs of the time.
