well, one controversy was that the church during that time was not going to w=sway from Ptolemy's theory of geocentricity. They believed that The Bible said that man was the center of the universe, but really, Copernicus' theory of heliocentricity was correct.Like a girls vagina

Why were people before Copernicus unable to find out what he found out when people coming after him could prove his ideas were correct?
because before Copernicus there was not much technology and later on in time there was more discoveries of existence of technology. which means people were able to prove his ideas. <3 <<>> Copernicus had a theory of the way the planets move around that had some advantages over the older Ptolemaic system which had the Earth at the centre. Copernicus had the Sun at the centre, which caused problems with the church when Galileo took the theory up and promoted it as the truth. Tycho Brahe also produced a system with the Earth at the centre. Tycho's system removed some of the faults in the Ptolemaic theory, specifically the full range of Venus's phases. Finally, the theory that lasted until modern times was that of Johannes Kepler (1609). He used the new idea of elliptical orbits, and also followed Copernicus in placing the Sun at the centre. Kepler's theory was generally accepted after Newton's expanation of elliptical orbits in terms of the theory of gravity.
What did Copernicus believe in?
Nicolaus Copernicus was a Polish astronomer who is best known for the astronomical theory that the Sun was near the center of the universe and that the Earth and other planets rotated around the center. He also stated that the Earth spinning on its axis, rotates once daily and makes a full revolution around the Sun in a year. Copernicus did not believe that the Earth and other planets were influenced by or revolved due to the Sun, instead he believed that the Sun was located near the center of the universe. It was this center of the universe which influenced those bodies and caused them to revolve. This theory is called the heliocentric or sun-center theory of the universe.He believed in the theory that the Earth revolved around the sun and not the other way around. He didn't publish his findings until before his death because he was afraid of going against the church and of being persecuted.
Why did it take so long for Copernicus' ideas to become widely accepted?
Copernicus's model of the solar system was published in 1543. This model had the Sun at the centre and was taken up by Galileo in a way that caused a big row with the catholic church. Kepler produced a later model in 1609 that eventually replaced all the earlier models. It used Copernicus's idea of placing the Sun at the centre, but it used the novel idea of elliptical orbits. From a scientific point of view, whether the Earth or the Sun is at the centre is not a highly significant part of the theory. However it is of religous significance because it involves interpretation of the scriptures, and this is how Galileo's intervention led him into trouble. Newton's discoveries in gravity and the laws of motion showed that elliptical orbits, with the Sun at the centre, could be explained by theory, and so we use Kepler's model today, and everyone accepts that including the Church.
When two variables are correlated it means that one caused the other?
No. This a common misunderstanding and it is sometime the case but not necessarily. A person who drives a lot gets in more accidents but may have caused none of them, they may have been hit by a drunk driver, etc. Gamble more and you lose more. Those are correlated and one caused the other.
