The Scientific Revolution of Copernicus

In this video I will show you the existence of God in medieval times.

The previous models were those of Aristotle or Ptolemy, geocentric models: the earth in the center, and the stars, the sun and the planets revolving around it. But these models no longer worked.

That is why new scientists appear who want to change it. Appear Copernicus, from Poland, who studies models prior to Aristotle and establishes a model heliocentric, placing the sun in the center, and the earth becomes one more planet. It is well accepted by other scientists, but it does not have many problems with society, since it did not agree with the ideas of Christianity.

The Copernicus model (heliocentric) does not work either, and is Kepler who establishes the true model of the solar system; replaces the system of circular orbits with that of elliptical orbits. The sun is located in one of the foci of the ellipse and the planet revolves around the sun.
