Copemicus' theory was that earth is not the center of the universe, but that the sun is. He wrote a whole book on how the universe changed and about the earth, moon and planets travelling around the solar system. His books were banned by the Pope as this idea was different to what the Church (ignorantly) asserted. Finally another scientist proved that Copemicus' theory made more sense. The theory was finally acknowledged as being more true by the Church much later.
