Copernicus and the trial of Gallileo

During the scientific revolution Europe came across two scientists that would be held against their own words, even though it was the complete truth. In the beginning there was Copernicus who had a theory that it was the earth that was the center of the universe, but rather the sun. He created a new model for his discovery called the heliocentric model. However since he had no actual proof, just assumptions and hypothesis what the difference were to be if the sun was to be the center and if earth were the center. He did publish a book, however very few bought it, since most saw him as a crackpot, but to the public astonishment the pope Paul II took an interest of the book and actually finished it. however nothing major happened till Galileo created the telescope.Galileo is know today as the father of astrology, this is all due to his creation of the refracting telescope and the theory he formulated with. But, this is not what made him famous, it was actually his infamous record of going against the pope and the bible. Unlike Copernicus, the pope during Galileo's time was much more stricter and took this as a huge offense. This all started because he presented his ideas to a local university, until someone told about his lecture about actual proof of the sun being the center of the universe. due to this he was under arrest and placed in a jail cell for about 2-3 months and then house arrest for 4 years. during this time he was able out to even out certain parts of his theory. But since he was afraid no one would be able to hear about his theories. He one day took several copies and just started to throw them out the window and the locals and peasants, hoping they might enlighten mankind. However this got out and he was placed under arrest again.It can be said that Galileo was able to prove Copernicus right and the catholic church was proven wrong. But even scientists later on were able to further able to prove Copernicus right. Newton came up with another theory involving the sun's center holding the rest of the universe at balance. eventually more bigger and powerfull telescopes came later on and were finally able to put out the the public that the sun was indeed the center of the universe. Eventually the Church was able to put their mistake in past and just accept the fact they made a huge mistake.
