aristotle and nicolaus copernicus
Both scientrusts challenged ideas supported by roman Catholic church
Scientists such as Nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo Galilei developed ideas that contradicted Ptolemy's geocentric model of the universe. Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model with the sun at the center, while Galileo's observations through a telescope supported this idea, leading to the eventual acceptance of the heliocentric model.
Of course, Nicolaus Copernicus was well known for his amazing talent in study of Astronomy, and like Aristotle, he questioned old ideas. One important idea he questioned, was that the sun and moon and stars all rotated around the earth
they both were scientist and both were astronomers and taught that the earth moves around the sun :)
aristotle and nicolaus copernicus
Nicolaus Copernicus -> Galileo Galilei
Both scientrusts challenged ideas supported by roman Catholic church
Both scientists challenged ideas supported by the Roman Catholic Church.
Nicolaus Copernicus's scientific ideas regarding the universe and specifically the idea of heliocentrism were at odds with the generally accepted ideas of his time. It was difficult for people to accept these new ideas, made even more difficult by the Catholic Church's powerful opposition to them for some time.
People of the Renaissance were influenced by Classical ideas that came from ancient Rome and Greece.
