Copernicus did not only come up with a theory regarding the nature of the sun in relation to the earth, but thoroughly worked to debunk some of the minor details within the geocentric theory.[6] In his article about heliocentrism as a model, author Owen Gingerich writes that in order to persuade people of the accuracy of his model, Copernicus created a mechanism in order to return the description of celestial motion to a "pure combination of circles."[7] Copernicus's theories made a lot of people uncomfortable and somewhat upset. Newton was a well known English physicist and mathematician who was known for his book PhilosophiƦ Naturalis Principia Mathematica.[18] He was a main figure in the Scientific Revolution for his laws of motion and universal gravitation. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5455.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5455.txt
