From Aristotle’s time, He insisted that the earth is the center of the universe. And then, the Copernicus came into being, he said that he sun is the center of the universe. And then we came to the Natural law of Newton. And then we came to the theory of relativity by Einstein. ...

However, Nicolaus Copernicus is credited with a wholesale shift in science in 1543. Because of hispublished findings, astronomers seriously considered that the Earth might not be the center of the solar system. And that was the beginning of discovering Mars as a planet. Later down th...
In addition, Copernicus’ model was the first astronomical system that offered a complete and detailed account of how the Universe worked. Not only did his model resolves issues arising out of the Ptolemaic system, it offered a simplified view of the universe that did away with complicated mathem...

What are the key points that are important in describing the periodic trends for atomic radius, first ionization energy, and electronegativity? What effect did Copernicus' heliocentric (sun-centered) theory of the solar system have on humanity'...
Why did Descartes – whom we philosophers call "the father of modern philosophy" – entertain such extravagant doubts about the reliability of his senses, even about the very existence of his own body? Because up until Copernicus, a century before, all humankind had labored under a colossal ...
Pre-scientific knowledge, or "common sense" knowledge, is thought to be discredited by Copernicus and the succeeding natural science. But the fact that what we may call telescopic-microscopic knowledge is very fruitful in certain areas, does not entitle one to deny that there are things which ...
