Just a point of clarification where none may be necessary...though Copernicus is hailed as a revolutionist in terms of the smashing of the earth-centered paradigm, it was arguably an incremental leap in scientific thought in that he worked overtime to prove that though the sun was the center of our universe, the fact that the earth and planets revolved in perfect circular revolutions was proof of the existence of God. Because the math didn't add up in terms of the astrological variance in these supposed perfect circles, he surmised that the twiring bodies must move in smaller concentric perfect circles to explain the apparent location of other heavenly bodies. It was of course Kepler who then came along and proved the elliptcal nature of the planets' revolutions.
