Copernicus and the trial of Galileo

The scientific revolution brought up a lot of question to old facts. One important statement that was challenged was that the earth is in the center of the universe. This statement was first introduced by the church, more sepecificly Pope Urban. He came up with this statment with the scriptures of the church. A few people really disagreed with this statment. They beleived that the sun was the center of the universe and the earth rotated around the sun every year. Copernicus introduced this idea and shared his idea by publishing a book about his theory. Galileo started to believe this theory and sent a letter to a german mathamatician named Johannes Kepler.
