Galileo was an Italian scientist and scholar that made pioneering observations that laid the foundation for modern physics and astronomy. He made a point of saying that you have to do more than just think something is true‚ you have to do it to prove it. With this being one of his principles he made many contradictions of thee only theories at the time‚ Artistole’s mostly.

Nicholas Copernicus was not apart of the Ptolemaic Theory that the world was geocentric‚ he was the man who put his word against it. As a man of God‚ Copernicus wraps up the world in a “just another planet” nature‚ by calculating with mathematics the Earth spins on a particular axis.
