Renaissance Figure: Nicolaus Copernicus

What do you think when you hear the word Copernicus? Do you remember celebrities from the 15th century to the 16th century Renaissance? Your idea will take you to the revolutionary theory of our universe. Or just want to know what the meaning of the word is. Whatever Copernicus was told when I thought it was important to know who Nicola Copernicus was and why he influenced his history so much. Some people may think that other scientists surpassed him with their ideas and inventions but I personally think that Copernicus is the most influential scientific figure in life and production since the Renaissance I believe there is.

Nicolaus Copernicus (1473 - 1543) was a Renaissance scholar called "Copernicus Revolution". One of the most important contributions of Copernicus is the field of astronomy. Copernicus placed the sun in the center of the universe, not the earth. The former system Ptolemy system was earth-centered (the earth is in the center of the universe). In 1543, in his "revolution in the sphere field," he published his theory (he proposed before). He still moves the planet with a circle instead of an ellipse, but he assumes that these circles have no center. He said that the center of the earth is not the center of the universe but the center of gravity and the moon. He said the Earth is one of the seven planets around the solar system and they are stationary. He said the movements of the earth include the rotation, rotation and annual inclination of the shaft.

Renaissance mathematician and astronomer Nikolaus Copernicus developed a model of the universe that puts the sun in the center of the universe instead of the earth. Everyone in front of him believed that the earth is in the center of the universe. This is the "truth" they were telling the children. But despite this apparent obstacle (temptation of everything we hear from those who seem to be more knowledgeable than we have), due to his natural curiosity, he You can come up with contradictions In a shocking period, the theory quickly replaced the old theory and became a new paradigm of how the world around us functions.
