He was Mexican - That is answer is wrong. In 1532 Copernicus had basically completed his work on the manuscript of De revolutionibus orbium coelestium; but despite urging by his closest friends, he resisted openly publishing his views, not wishing, as he confessed, to risk the scorn "to which he would expose himself on account of the novelty and incomprehensibility of his theses."

What Copernicus and Galileo believe about the universe?

They believed in a heliocentric universe. This meaning that the earth was not the center of the universe, but that the sun was. However, many people , including the church, did not agree with this theory. Instead they believed in a geocentric universe. Plato and Aristotle believed in this theory.

Wherever you decide it is. (The center of the universe has not been scientifically established with any degree of certainty.)


When do you decide to publish an autobiography?

You can write an autobiography at any point in your life. However, unless you intend to publish it yourself (such as using a vanity press) a publisher must believe it is interesting enough to consider publishing it for you.


Dreams of an being in an alternate universe?

that's for you to decide. Dreams of being in an alternate universe might suggest a strong desire to escape from one's mundane routine.


Was Isaac Newton's findings about the Solar System geocentric or heliocentric?

Ptolemy's research in the field of astronomy led him to continue down the vein of other Greek scholars who believed in the Geocentric system of planetary orbit. The Ptolemaic system, which believed that the planets and sun moved in small mini-orbits, known as epicycles, within a larger, greater orbit around the earth, was comprised in order from closest to farthest as Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Due to this system's ability to fairly accurately predict the paths of the observable planets in the sky, it remained widely accepted until Copernicus became champion, if you will, of the Heliocentric theory. Even then, Ptolemy's system was still better able to explain the motions of the planets. It was not until the later addition of Kepler's laws of motion that the Heliocentric theory fell neatly into place.


Who was the Polish astronomer who suggested that the sun was the cener of the universe?

Nicholas Copernicus suggested in 1543 that the model of the Universe could be simplified by considering the Sun at the centre rather than the Earth. In the early 1600s Galileo had a dispute with the Church about it because scripture said that the Earth is at the centre. At that time it was impossible to decide which idea was true, until in the late 17th century Newton's theories of gravity and motion explained why the planets follow Kepler's 1609 model with elliptical orbits and the Sun at the centre.

What order of events that brought about the transition from geocentric to helocentric cosmological view?

The geocentric view was captured in Ptolemy's model in ancient times, and it was not until 1543 that Copernicus brought out an alternative heliocentric model with the Sun at the centre. He claimed that the new model was geometrically simpler, and there were good reasons for that view. Both these models used circles and epicycles to explain the planets' observed movements among the 'fixed' stars, and they were both fairly accurate.In 1609 Kepler published yet another heliocentric model that had the planets in elliptical orbits. The new model fitted a new set of highly accurate observations by Tycho better than the old models. However there was at that time no way to decide which model was correct, other than the better accuracy of Kepler's theory.Within the next 100 years the law of gravity and the laws of motion were discovered, and Newton demonstrated theoretically that the planets must move in elliptical orbits under the Sun's gravity. Within the next 100 years after that the distance to Venus was measured and the dimensions of the whole solar system could then be calculated.It was then possible to show that the Sun is far more massive than the planets, and therefore it must be at the centre.The final discovery of stellar parallax in 1838 demonstrated that the Earth actually moves around the Sun. After that no-one could credibly deny the heliocentric idea.


How do you mark a story as having multiple authors on FanFiction.net?

You mean a collaboration? You cannot do this; you must decide who gets to publish the story on their account then say in the author's note or description 'This story is a collaboration with me and so-and-so'.
