It has been 500 years since Polish astronomer, Nicolaus Copernicus, had established his heliocentric theory. The discovery that the earth actually revolves around the sun was an enormous breakthrough in the history of mankind. This idea that the earth is not the center of the universe, was expressed long before Copernicus’ times, but it was only this great astronomer who proved it scientifically, in terms that could not be disputed.

Nicolaus Copernicus revolutionized science and the perception of the world from the historical
perspective. His work „On The Revolutions” concerned politics, science, religion and modern
philosophy by adapting the Copernican principle that the earth is in no way exceptional in the
universe.
