The Polish astronomer Nicholas Copernicus (1473-1543) could be said to have had a good sense of self-preservation, because he did not publish his theories about the place of the earth in the solar system, contained in the book On the Revolution of the Celestial Spheres, during his own lifetime for fear of being persecuted by the Catholic Church. He knew that his life depended on not doing so.
When it was published, after his death, the book was in Latin, so the general public was not able to read it. Academics could, but few learned people were willing to face the Church and risk death. Seventy three years after it was published, in 1616, the Church considered the book important enough to place on its Index of Prohibited Books. This was one of many instances in which the truth came second to the interests of the Church.

Why didnt Copernicus publish his book just before he died?
Nicolaus Copernicus delayed publishing his groundbreaking work, "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium," until just before his death in 1543 primarily due to the fear of backlash from the Church and the scientific community. He was aware that his heliocentric model challenged the long-standing geocentric view upheld by the Catholic Church, which could have led to significant controversy. Additionally, he may have wanted to refine his ideas further before making them public. Ultimately, he published it shortly before his passing, possibly seeking to ensure his theories would be acknowledged.
