Who was imprisoned because his idea was that the earth was the center of the solar system?
No one .. It was the other way around the church taught that bull.. I believe it was Copernicus that said the sun was the center of the solar system and for fear of the church didn't publish his work till the end of his life
Where did Copernicus live and where?
Most of his life (including the last 40 years), Nicolaus Copernicus lived in Poland.
What evidence did Galileo have to his theory?
Galileo's support for the heliocentric theory (note that this is Copernicus's theory, not Galileo's) got him into trouble with the Roman Catholic Church. In 1633 the Inquisition convicted him of heresy and forced him to recant (publicly withdraw) his support of Copernicus. They sentenced him to life imprisonment, but because of his advanced age allowed him serve his term under house arrest at his villa in Arcetri outside of Florence.
What was gaileo's mechanistic concept of the universe?

Gravitation(improved)Galileo also added the study of Gravitation of twenty objects. One set of ten were the very light things and the other ten were the heavy pair. The people thought that the heavy pair would fall first but instead they fell at the same time!!! So this is the proof or that the gravity is even.
Does the cell theory answer the question of how or where life originally came from explain?
No. Cell theory is the theory that cells make up organisms. The only theory dealing with the origin of life is life origin theory.
Was Nicolaus Copernicus famous during life or death?
He was a Polish clergy member who suggested the theory of the sun being the universe (heliocentric theory) instead of the Earth being the center (geocentric theory). I believe he is famous after death, since he did not publish his findings and date information about the heavens until the last year of his life, in fear of the Catholic Church damning him to purgatory for questioning their authority and belief of the geocentric theory.
Who was and influence on Johannes kelpers life?

Did the Catholic Church not let Nicolas Copernicus publish his book?
Another answer from our community:The Catholic Church actually encouraged Nicolas Copernicus to publish his book, and it was published with a tribute to the reigned Pope, the local Bishops encouraged him, along with a Cardinal in Rome. Copernicus had major problems because the protestant Lutherans thought that he was going against the Bible, and he didn't want to cause any more trouble. At that time, Copernicus was already dying and at the end of his life, so only the chapter on mathematics was actually published before his final decline. Copernicus was urged by Cardinal Schonberg, then Archbishop of Capua, in a letter, dated at Rome, 1 November, 1536, to publish his discovery, or at least to have a copy made at the cardinal's expense. Shortly there after, Copernicus had a stroke and lost one side of his body, and his memory was greatly impaired. But for the protests of the protestants, the whole thing would have been published much earlier.
What was family life like for Nicolaus Copernicus?
He was not married
What was the catholic church's position on the heliocentric theory?
Copernicus as well as Galilei for a long time had no problem at all with the Church. Copernicus even got the opportunity to explain his theories to the Pope, who afterwards thanked him for his 'fascinating insights'. Galilei also could develop and publish his observations unhindered by Church opposition for most of his life. He however then chose to pick an enduring scientific quarrel on his theory with prominent Jesuits. The Jesuits got their own back by unleashing the Inquisition on him, who convinced the Pope to have his books banned by the Catholic Church. The ban was only formally lifted in the late 20th century, but the real impact of the Church ban was very minor. Galilei's and Copernicus' works continued to be published widely and their heliocentristic views remained at the core of all scientific theory and research on the subject from then on.

What is an example of publish?
Example sentence - I am writing a book about life with his children and will publish it next year.
The impact of Copernicus's descovery?
Copernicus knew that his theory would be controversial so he had it published after he was dead. The book started out as kind of a secret only for those people serious enough to read that sort of stuff. Then people started making it more and more publish until it came to the attention of the church. Bruno got himself burned at the stake over it, Galileo got himself publically censored and under house arrest for the rest of his life. After Galileo it remained controversial but the opinions were constantly going against the church. In the mid 1970's the Catholic church finally retracted its defiance.
What was Copernicus life span?
Nicolaus Copernicus (19 February 1473 - 24 May 1543) was a Renaissance astronomer, priest. He lived for 70 years.
Why did Copernicus propose his theory?
One aspect of Copernicus' life that remains a mystery is WHY he took the time to write a mammoth book showing the simplicity of astronomical calculations if one assumes our Sun, rather than our Earth, to be the center of our solar system. At the time, he as a government administrator, not a scientist. Although Ptolemy's ideas were difficult to use, they worked perfectly fine for anyone willing to use them; thus, there was no demand from anyone to abandon them. It appears that Copernicus began to speculate on a heliocentric solar system about 1510, soon after he came back from his college studies in Italy. He then spent over 30 years developing these ideas, refusing to publish his work despite repeated requests to do so. WHY he put so much effort into this idea remains a mystery.
