Nicholas Copernicus Research Paper

There is only one way to rearrange the universe, and that is to believe that it can move. In the vast expanse of universal antiquities, the Earth is as young as it’s sciences. In a revolution of time and space, it takes a concern of Earth’s spinning axis to enlighten an entire scientific undertaking of what lies beyond it. Nicholas Copernicus was not apart of the Ptolemaic Theory that the world was geocentric, he was the man who put his word against it. As a man of God, Copernicus wraps up the world in a “just another planet” nature, by calculating with mathematics the Earth spins on a particular axis.

A person who would have been a martyr, if not for sickness, for the Scientific Revolution, Nicholas Copernicus is the first of the late Middle Ages to introduce an idea for science and not for the sake of religion.
The most infamous name in not only astronomy, mathematics, and science itself is Galileo Galilei. Nicholas Copernicus will always have the title of the Copernican theory, but Galileo was the stand-alone astronomer and scientist who dismantled the establishment of the late Middle Ages. Galileo did not only refute Copernicus, but he wrote down how often Copernicus or the Ptolemy was wrong. He creates his own lens within the Ptolemaic telescope and finally brings the universe into view - something that had never been done before. He is the scientist that begins the movement in Calculus and is charged for heresy by the Catholic Church unlike Copernicus who dies before he can face them.
