However‚ his heliocentric theory published in his book‚ De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium (or On the Revolutions of Heavenly Spheres) could not be proven while he was still alive‚ as the world lacked telescopes. Only later would Johannes Kepler confirm Copernicus’s idea with mathematical proof. Copernicus would not just start the path for

8. In both Hipparchian and Ptolemaic systems‚ the planets are assumed to move in a small circle called an epicycle‚ which in turn moves along a larger circle called a deferent. Both circles rotate clockwise and are roughly parallel to the plane of the Sun’s orbit (ecliptic). Despite the fact that the system is considered geocentric‚ the planets’ motion was not centered on the Earth but on what is called the eccentric. The orbits of planets in this system are epitrochoids. The epicycle rotated and

The theological assumption of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries assumed God as the ultimate source of intervention in day-to-day affairs – a reflection of the authoritative power of the Church of the era. Because there was no alternate existing explanation for the seemingly random occurrence of phenomena‚ people believed that God was the sole cause of natural events. Deism‚ the belief in a supreme being that created the universe but does not interact with humankind‚ distinctly contrasted with

Before the idea people just accepted the teachings of Aristotle thinking that everything including the sun revolved around the Earth‚ that sat in the center of the universe. Copernicus created a heliocentric solar
