Copernicus' calculations were considered extreme because saying that the earth is not the center of the universe is saying that ______ is also not the center the universe.
Man(Humankind)
Nicholas Copernicus was famous because he discovered that the earth was not in the center of the universe, but instead the sun was.
The church taught that man was the center of the universe and all things evolved around man. Copernicus stated that earth/man was not the center of the universe and the sun was the center. The church saw this as heresy and that it took power from them because they had made themselves the connection between man and God. Since God was the ruler of the universe and determined all of what man saw and did the science of Copernicus was heresy.
No because he did not have time to.Nicolaus Copernicus never married.
Copernicus was reluctant to publish his ideas because he knew that the church would oppose him, so he was scared of being kill. this is why copernicus was reluctant of publishing his ideas
no he did not, because he was a law canon. boohoo!

He created the theory that the sun is the center of the universe.
The Church viewed Copernicus's theory as heresy because Christian beliefs stated that all of the universe revolved around earth.
because he wanted to and he wanted to prove that the sun was in the middle of the universe and not the earth

Ptolemy and Copernicus' ideas about the universe are different from each other in the sense that Ptolemy thought that every celestial object as well as the sun and the moon orbited the Earth whereas Copernicus had the thought that all planets orbited the Sun, while the Moon orbited the Earth.
They are different because Ptolemy believed that the Earth was the center of the universe, while Copernicus believed that the Earth was in orbit around the sun, just like the other planets.
The theory of Copernicus was revolutionary because at the time, people believed that Earth was the center of the solar system instead of the Sun.
he went to jail because he said the earth was not the centre of the universe. However in the bible it says that the earth IS the centre of the universe. He was thrown in jail for saying the bible was wrong.
Copernicus hypothesized (discovered) that the Sun is the center of the universe and that the Earth isn't. (Actually the Sun is not the center of the Universe but it its the center of our solar system). At that time the church thought that the Earth was the center of the universe and they thought that they were right all the time and Nicolas Copernicus proved them wrong and they got angry at him for doing that because a lot of people didn't trust the church any more.
