4. His friends were not interested in his ideas.
5. Since he was not afraid of being attacked by the Church, Copernicus published his book as soon as he finished working on it.
1.Why was Copernicus’ mind confused? Because his mathematical calculations led to the same conclution: that the earth was not the center of the solar system 2.Why couldn’t Copernicus tell the world his theory? Because his theory was against the powerful Christian Church’s idea. If he had done so he would have been punished severely 3.How did he prove his theory? He collected observations of the stars and used all his mathematical knowledge to work on the problem. Finally he proved it right. 4.Can you describe his theory with a few words ?
