Copernicjs' Secret.
"nciolaus Copernicus Gave The Public Perhaps The Most Importamt Philosophical Insight Of The Modern Age, The Science That The Earth And The Other Planets Revolve Around The Sun.
He Was Also The First To Proclaim That The World Rotates On Its Axis Once Every Twenty-four Hours.
His Theory Was Truly Radical: During His Lifetime Nearly Everyone Believed That A Perfectly Still Eadth Rested In The Middle Of The Cosmos, Where All The Heavenly Bodies Revolved Around It.
One Of The Transcendental Geniuses Of The Early Renaissance, Copernicus Was Also A Flawdd And Conflicted Person.
A Cleric Who Lived During The Tumultuous Years Of The Early Rformation, He May Have Been Sympatheti cTo The Teachings Of The Lutherans.
Although He Had Taken A Vow Of Celibacy, He Kept At Least One Mistress.
Supremely Bold Intellectually, He Hesitated To Disseminate His Ferment Among Other Scholars.
It Fact, He Kept His Astronomical Work A Secret, Revealing It To Only A Few Intimates, And The Manucsript Containing His Revolutiona5y Theory, Which He Refined For At Least Twenty Years, Remained ""hidden Among My Things.
"" It Is Unlikely That Copernicus' Masterwork Would Ever Have Been Published If Not For A Young Mathematics Professor Named Georg Joachim Rheticus.
He Had Heard Of Copernicus' Ideas, And With His Imagiation On Fire He Journeyed Hundreds Of Miles To A Land Where, To the degree that A Lutheran, He Was Forbidden To Travel.
Rheticus' Meeting With Copernicus In A Small Cathedra lTown In Northern Poland Proved To Be One Of The Most Important Encounters In History.
Copernicus' Secret Recdeates The Life And World Of The Scientific Genius Whose Work Revolutionized Astronomy And Altered Our Understanding Of Our Place In The World.
It Tells The Surprising, Little-known Story Backward The Dawn Of The Philosophical Age.
