Nicolaus Copernicus.

Wake up, Copernicus.

We were still back where Copernicus was.

And Copernicus looks like Johnny Carson, which is really weird.

But in 1543, a guy named Copernicus proposed a different model.

Would you ban Copernicus from the classroom along with Charles Darwin?

The DNA matched, and we know that this was indeed Nicolaus Copernicus.

Bradley's discovery confirmed Copernicus' theory that the Earth revolved around the Sun.

Copernicus' act did, by changing the way we view space and time.

So, here's Copernicus' view of what the solar system looked like as a plan.

It only took one robust observation from Copernicus to blow that idea out of the water.

Copernicus was actually simply buried in an unmarked grave, together with 14 others in that cathedral.

Rarely, you know evolution did this and Copernicus did this, where we have a new understanding of who we are.

Now, this is Copernicus, and he was right, when he was talking to anyone who needs to hear your idea.

Indeed, the publication of Copernicus' heliocentric model of the cosmos (1543) is seen by many as marking the beginning of a scientific revolution.

As it was the custom of the time, Copernicus was actually simply buried in an unmarked grave, together with 14 others in that cathedral.

And I'll also discover how the man many consider to be the father of the European scientific renaissance, Copernicus, borrowed from Islamic astronomical theories.

You look at some other scientific revolutions, and this case, I'm talking about the solar system, that's Copernicus, Darwin's evolution, and tectonic plates, that's Wegener.

The discovery that the models of Ibn al Shatir are mathematically identical to those of Copernicus suggests the possible transmission of these models to Europe.

And this is what my new satellite looks like, that we can all look up, and stare at when we stare at the stars like Copernicus.

There will be the smaller planets, and there will be the big planets, even back to the time of Epicurus and then of course Copernicus and his followers.

Shortly after Copernicus, in the 1580s, an Italian friar, Giordano Bruno, suggested the stars were suns that likely had their own planets and that the universe was infinite.

There will be the smaller planets, and there will be the big planets, even back to the time of Epicurus and then of course Copernicus and his followers.

The small planets dominated, and there was a certain harmony to that, which actually Copernicus was very happy to note, and Kepler was one of the big proponents of.

And where did our world come from? How and when will it end? In the revolutions spawned by Copernicus and Darwin, we began to see time as an arrow, in a universe that's always changing.

Now, the connection between biology and DNA and life is very tantalizing when you talk about Copernicus because, even back then, his followers very quickly made the logical step to ask if the Earth is just a planet, then what about planets around other stars?

So today, I'm here to actually give you a first glimpse of what the new telescope, Kepler, has been able to tell us in the last few weeks, and, lo and behold, we are back to the harmony and to fulfilling the dreams of Copernicus.

(p. x) Gary Ferngren, (2002) Introduction, p. ix) ref The astronomer Carl Sagan, mentioned the dispute between the astronomical systems of Ptolemy (who thought that the sun and planets revolved around the earth) and Copernicus (who thought the earth and planets revolved around the sun).

In his book, Ibn al Shatir, an Arab astronomer of the fourteenth century , E. S. Kennedy wrote what is of most interest, however, is that Ibn al Shatir's lunar theory, except for trivial differences in parameters, is identical with that of Copernicus (1473 1543 AD).

So in 1543, Nicholas Copernicus published The Revolutions of Heavenly Spheres, and by taking the Earth out of the center, and putting the sun in the center of the solar system, he opened our eyes to a much larger universe, of which we are just a small part.

DNA analysis, one of the hallmarks of the scientific revolution of the last 400 years that he started, was the way we found which set of bones actually belonged to the person who read all those astronomical books which were filled with leftover hair that was Copernicus' hair obviously not many other people bothered to read these books later on.
