He argued vigorously that the way to truth was to observe, rather than to philosophize. For example, when others argued that Jupiter couldn't possibly have satellites because such moons would serve no purpose, Galileo insisted that the answer could be found simply by looking at Jupiter through a telescope.

∙ 9y agoGalileo decided to bring his fight and defense of Copernicus to the people rather than just academics, which was the norm at the time. He used pamphlets, letters along with dialogue to prove his point. Alas, his successful defense came to the attention of the Pope and Catholic Church and he was soon on trial for his efforts.

False, TrueThe original spelling and grammar of your question is so poor that the answer could be either.Nicolaus Copernicus (his name should be capitalized) did formulate a heliocentric cosmology. He was not "the pearson" (sic!) but "a person". He was not the first either, many Greek philosophers prior to 200 BCE also held heliocentric beliefs.We can assume that Copernicus spoke with others about his ideas, we do know that the book stating these ideas was published just shortly before Copernicus died.
