Who was Nickolaus Copernicus and what was his famous theory?
He had a theory that the earth revolved around the sun. Hundreds of years later, scientists proved he was right. Back then, everybody believed Aristotle and they thought the earth was at the center of the universe and everything revolved around it. Galileo kind of based his theory on that too, but it was Copernicus who thought of it.
Why did Nickolaus Copernicus go to jail?
He did not go to jail and was never charged with any crime. He produced a new and in some ways better model of what we call the solar system. It had the Sun at the centre, and he was nervous that it might get him into trouble with the Church (his employers), so publication of his book on the subject was delayed until the year he died, 1543.
