The critical realization that Earth is not at the center of the universe is now known as the Copernican Revolution. The idea that neither Earth nor Sun occupy a special place in the universe is known as the "Copernican Principle".

This hypothesis is scientifically classified as a "Principle of Mediocrity".

Galileo supported the Copernican system, but Aristotle did not. The Copernican system was a belief that the sun was the center of the solar system.

John Feild - proto-Copernican - was born in 1525.

John Feild - proto-Copernican - died in 1587.
