Copernicus
Nicolaus Copernicus
Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) was a Polish mathematician, astronomer, physician, classics scholar, translator, governor, diplomat, and economist. He is renowned for positing that the Earth orbited the Sun, challenging the long-held belief that the Sun revolved around the Earth. His work initiated the Scientific Revolution, which eventually led to the Church relinquishing its role as the sole arbiter of all truths.
