Nicolaus Copernicus
Once upon a time, people believed in the Earth-centered universe, but thankfully, Copernicus came along and his theory made things clearer. Born in 1473, Nicolaus Copernicus went on to propose the idea of a sun-centered universe, which we all know still stands true today. Originally from Poland, Copernicus traveled all over Europe because of his mind. Too bad he is no longer with us today since someone has to tell the flat-Earthers that they are wrong.
What Nicolaus Copernicus Really Looked Like
Old artwork of Copernicus do not do him justice, showing him as gaunt and hollowed. Since technology has advanced, it is only right someone would create a much better rendering of the person responsible for showing us the truth about many things like the universe. Even with the new depiction, Copernicus still looks a little miserable. “The price of genius,” some might say.
