Popis: “In opposition to common sense I dare to imagine some movement of the Earth; … since mathematicians have not (yet) agreed with each other, I was moved to think out a different scheme …; by supposing the Earth to move, demonstrations more secure than those of my predecessors (could) be found for the revolutions of the… spheres… all (celestial) phenomena follow from this (supposition).” Nicholas Copernicus, On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres, Preface and Dedication to Pope Paul III.1
