Teaduslik revolutsioon
heliocentric theory bothered Copernicus. So, he decided to publish his findings in 1543, the year of his death.
Aware that he could not persuade the traditional thinking of the time, Copernicus made a specific appeal to
mathematicians. It was, he thought, only the mathematician who could understand and appreciate the order
and essential simplicity of his system.
Copernicus never expected that his findings would appeal to the nonspecialist. But in 1572 something
happened. A new star appeared in the constellation of Cassiopeia. The new star was observed by the
Danish astronomer, Tycho Brahe(15461601). The star was brighter than any other star for more than two
years contemporary accounts tell us that the star was so bright that it could be seen in daylight. And in
1600, another star appeared. This star was observed by Johannes Kepler(15711630). The heavens
seemed to be in flux [ jõuväljas ]
