Extended information mikolaj kopernik (Polish: Nikolaj Kopernik,1February 47319-1May 24, 543, at the age of 70) was a Polish astronomer, mathematician, doctor of church law and priest in the Renaissance.
When Copernicus was 40 years old, he put forward Heliocentrism, which denied the authority of the church and changed people's views on nature and themselves. At that time, the Roman Catholic Church thought that his Heliocentrism violated the Bible. Copernicus still firmly believed in Heliocentrism and thought that Heliocentrism was not contradictory to him. After years of observation and calculation, he completed his masterpiece "The Theory of the Operation of Celestial Bodies".
1533, 60-year-old Copernicus made a series of speeches in Rome, but it was not until he was nearly 70 years old that he finally decided to publish them. 1543 On May 24th, Copernicus received a book written by him from the publishing house on the day of his death.
