He was too scared to publish his work because he was afraid of being caught by the Church, which strongly believed in the geocentric theory. Copernicus didn't publish his work until he was on his deathbed. Even when he did published it, it wasn't under his own name, instead under the name of 25-year-old George Rhetis.

A published hypothesis is accepted by the scientific community as a proposed explanation for a phenomenon but must undergo rigorous testing and validation through experiments and observations. If consistently supported by evidence, it may contribute to the development of a scientific theory, rather than becoming a scientific law. Scientific laws describe observable phenomena under specific conditions and are generally concise statements, while theories provide broader explanations. Therefore, a hypothesis does not automatically become a scientific law; it requires substantial evidence to be widely accepted and understood.
