Before Copernicus’ theory 1. What conclusion did Copernicus’ mathematical calculations lead to? All his mathematical calculations led to the same conclusion: that the earth was not the centre of the solar system. Only if you put the sun there did the movements of the other planets in the sky make sense. 2. Why could he not tell about his theory? Because the powerful Christian Church would have punished him for even suggesting such an idea. They believed God had made the world and for that reason the earth was special and must be the centre of the solar system. Why is it right for Copernicus to be cautious and careful of his theory ? The Christian Church rejected his theory, saying it was against God’s idea and people who supported it would be attacked. Copernicus did not live to hear of its extraordinary impact.（影响） If you were Nicolaus Copernicus, would you have hidden your theory for so many years? Give a reason.
