The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z The truth is that he really was a heretic and was burned for his religious beliefs; it was just unfortunate that the Copernican model got tangled up in the whole business. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z There was much more to Copernican astronomy, for those with eyes to see, than the simple claim that the Earth orbits around the Sun. The Scientists 2003-10-21T00:00:00Z The observed pattern of behaviour of the planets is also linked, in the Copernican model, to their distances from the Sun relative to the distance of the Earth from the Sun.

Pioneers of Science The difference is as great between "the science of the human mind" and metaphysic, as it is between the Ptolemaic and the Copernican astronomy, and it is very much of the same kind. Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Volume 62, No. 382, October 1847 To have deranged a single taw would, in my mind, have been a sacrilege as great as an attempt to upset the balance of the Copernican system.

Vol. 3 A series of pen and pencil sketches of the lives of more than 200 of the most prominent personages in History In the Copernican and other systems, it is well known that the Moon, abstracting from the insignificant excentricity of the orbit, always in twenty-four hours performs an equally long distance. A Budget of Paradoxes, Volume II Many other considerations might have been urged, before the Copernican theory was established, to show that, possibly, some of the planets exert influences more effective than those of the sun and moon. Myths and Marvels of Astronomy This, which is called the Copernican system, is now regarded as, and has been proved to be, the true theory of the solar system. The Astronomy of Milton's 'Paradise Lost' So he says the dialogue on the Copernican side takes up the question purely as a mathematical hypothesis or speculative figment, and gives it every artificial advantage of which the theory is capable.

Pioneers of Science The importance of this great discovery was instantly felt by the enemies as well as by the friends of the Copernican system. The Martyrs of Science, or, The lives of Galileo, Tycho Brahe, and Kepler What greater blunder can be made by a writer on ancient astronomy than giving Eudoxus the Copernican system? A Budget of Paradoxes, Volume II This was Tycho Brahe's famous and perfectly sound argument against the Copernican theory. Myths and Marvels of Astronomy This seemed incredible to Tycho, and he therefore concluded that the Copernican theory was incorrect. The Astronomy of Milton's 'Paradise Lost' There were thus several outstanding physical difficulties in the way of the acceptance of the Copernican theory, besides the Biblical difficulty. Pioneers of Science Not content with thus securing the friendship of the Pope, Galileo endeavoured to bespeak the good-will of the Cardinals towards the Copernican system. The Martyrs of Science, or, The lives of Galileo, Tycho Brahe, and Kepler Now, one of the many stock arguments against Copernican theory of the earth being a planet like the rest was that the earth was dull and dark and did not shine.

The World's Greatest Books — Volume 15 — Science Primarily religion is as much a conviction as is the Copernican system of astronomy. Theism or Atheism The Great Alternative An instance of this is the consistency with my expectation of the alternation of day and night, of either the Ptolemaic or Copernican formulation of the solar system. The Approach to Philosophy He resolved to compose a work in which the Copernican system should be demonstrated; but he had not the courage to do this in a direct and open manner.

The World's Greatest Books — Volume 15 — Science They very nearly failed to assimilate the Copernican cosmogony. Essays Towards a Theory of Knowledge The Copernican theory had its practical result in the stimulation of discovery and commerce; its intellectual issue in the weakening of the church's cosmogony, and a discredit of the church's claim to real knowledge. The Chief End of Man By this rude contrivance he found that the Alphonsine Tables erred a whole month in the time of conjunction, while the Copernican ones were at least several days in error. The Martyrs of Science, or, The lives of Galileo, Tycho Brahe, and Kepler There is, as has often been pointed out, scarcely anything to choose from as regards the relative plausibility of the Copernican over the Ptolemaic system. Human Traits and their Social Significance According to the Copernican system, that planet should appear sixty times as large when at its nearest as when at its farthest; but this diversity of magnitude is not to be seen. The World's Greatest Books — Volume 15 — Science During the next seventy years the matter slumbered, until Galileo upheld the Copernican doctrine as the truth,149 and proved it to be the truth by his telescope. The Necessity of Atheism Our word "virtue" is the bodily importation of the old Roman word "virtus," but so changed in meaning that the Romans could no more comprehend it than they could the Copernican theory of astronomy. A Hero and Some Other Folks It was, perhaps, owing more to his veneration for the Scriptures than to the vanity of giving his name to a new system that he rejected the Copernican hypothesis. The Martyrs of Science, or, The lives of Galileo, Tycho Brahe, and Kepler Kepler's laws of the motions of the planets, showing them to revolve in ellipses instead of circles, removed the last defect of the Copernican system, and left no room for its rejection. The New Heavens Further, again, the moon prevents the whole order of the Copernican system by revolving round the earth instead of round the sun. The World's Greatest Books — Volume 15 — Science Against Galileo, the war against the Copernican theory was concentrated.

The Age of the Reformation All branches of the Protestant Church, Lutheran, Calvinist, Anglican, vied with each other in denouncing the Copernican doctrine. The Necessity of Atheism The facts in support of the globular form of the earth, or the Copernican theory of the heavens, or the great age of the earth, were at one time meagre—they are not so now. The Continental Monthly, Vol. 5, No. 4, April, 1864 Occasionally, however, the subject was broached by some incautious novitiate, and then the custom was to treat the Copernican Theory as a mere hypothesis, and its author as a mental defective.
