Since the ancient times of Greek philosophy the heavenly realm was divided from the earthly sphere. That the universe was centered around the earth, and often in particular some special earthly city seemed obvious, and enjoyed the backing of ecclesiastical authority by the time the heliocentric heresy rose to attack it. In science, evidence trumps theory. Heliocentrism loosened the grasp of ecclesiastical authority in the domain of science, which was bound to generate substantial controversy at that time. Today the major scientific controversies occur as they conflict with political ideology.
Nicholas Copernicus was afraid that no one would accept his theory so he did not release his book until the year of his death. Many say that he died with his book in his hands on his death bed.
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.

Nicolaus Copernicus was a real astronomer who was able to figure out that the earth, as well as all the planets, revolved around the sun and that the Earth rotates on its axis once every day*.Nicolaus Copernicus was an astronomer who discovered that the Sun is the center of the universe (Heliocentric Theory) and the planets and stars revolved around it. This discovery shattered the Geocentric Theory, the thought that the Earth was the center of the universe and everything revolved around it.Bcause he knew his findings would be rejected, and he might face exicution, he did not publish his book On the Revolutions of Heavenly Bodies until 1543, the year he died.*Johannes Kepler discovered this
Most of these people were religious, and because the scriptures supposedly said that the Earth was in the center of the universe (geocentric), they had to stand firm with their beliefs. Only scientists and astronomers believed in the heliocentric theory, and some of them would be excommunicated or almost executed if they weren't geocentric.
Why did some people oppose the new dea
Yes, Copernicus's heliocentric theory predicted the relative positions of the planets more accurately than the geocentric model, although some inaccuracies remained due to the circular orbits assumption and uniform speeds. The heliocentric model eventually laid the foundation for Kepler's laws and Newton's theory of gravitation, which greatly improved our understanding of planetary motion.
Usually those are the cultures that oppose freedom.
They have their own reasons.
Mainly I think these are people who oppose anything to do with nuclear power
Copernicus produced the first heliocentric theory of the planets' movements among the stars in1543. He used the idea that the Sun is at the centre, plus a whole lot more detail that has now been superseded. The modern theory is that of Kepler (1609), which resembles the Copernicus model only in so far as it is also heliocentric.
They don't want it
They believed it interfered with their individual rights.
It isn't that the people oppose it is more of the family. For most Asian they/the family members who came to America had to be well educated. Some Asians view African Americans as uneducated and they believe they would just live off of the Asian. But there are some people who oppose and those people just haven't gotten past the fact the racism yet.
There are no causes of homophobia that are unique to Florida alone. The reasons why some people oppose same-sex marriage are the usual ones: animus towards gays and lesbians.
Words that describe people who oppose equality for gay people depend on the situation. Here are some options:scaredtraditionalconservativefundamentalisthomophobic
