e i f the earth was the centre of the sol ar system and al pl as went round i t. Coperni cus had thought l ong and hard about these probl em s and tri ed to fi nd an answer. H e had col ected observations of the stars and used al l his m athem ati cal knowl edge to explai n them . But only hi s new theory coul d do that. So between 1510 and 1514 he worked on i t, gradual y im provi ng hi s theory until he fel t i t was pl ete. In 1514 he showed i t pri vatel y to hi s fri ends. The changes he m ade to the ol d theory were revol uti onary. H e pl aced a fi xed sun at the centre of the sol ar system with the pl as goi ng round i t and only the m oon stil goi ng round the earth. H e al so suggested that the earth was spinni ng as it went round the sun and this expl ai ned changes i n the movem ent of the pl as and i n the bri ghtnes of the stars. Hi s fri ends were enthusi asti c and encouraged him to publi sh hi s i deas, but Coperni cus was cauti ous. H e di d not want to be attacked by the Chri sti an Church, so he onl y publ i shed i t as he lay dyi ng i n 1543. Certai nl y he was ri ght to be careful. The Chri sti an Church rejected hi s theory, sayi ng i t was agai nst God’s i dea and peopl e who supported i t woul d be attacked. Yet Coperni cus’ theory i s now the basi s on whi ch al our i deas of the uni verse are bui l t. Hi s theory repl aced the Chri sti an i dea of gravi ty, whi ch sai d thi ngs tel l to earth because God created the earth as the centre of the uni verse. Coperni cus showed thi s was obvi ousl y wrong. N ow peopl e can see that there i s a di rect l i nk between his theory and the work of Isaac N ewton, Al bert Ei nstei n and Stephen H awki ng.
