Episode Synopsis

In the 16th century, one quiet canon and mathematician made a claim so radical it shattered humanity's place in the universe. Nicolaus Copernicus didn't just challenge astronomers; he challenged kings, churches, and centuries of inherited truth. This episode tells the story of how Copernicus overturned the ancient belief that Earth stood motionless at the center of creation and replaced it with a sun-centered cosmos.   DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE AND LEAVE A RATING OR A REVIEW!
