Copernicus put forth a theory that the sun was the center of the Universe and that the Earth revolved around the sun. He also said that the Earth spins on an axis completing one rotation daily.
Copernicus used mathematics to argue that the Sun is the center of the solar system, giving people a convincing alternative to the Catholic Church's Earth-centered model.
