Responsible for the most important scientific insight of the modern era, Copernicus created one of the most radical astronomical theories in human history, displacing Earth as the static center of the universe, reshaping our way of seeing the stars, and beginning the journey that led, inexorably, to our present world. His innovative ideas paved the way for many other geniuses, such as Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, and even Albert Einstein.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eOne of the most gifted minds of the pre-Renaissance, Copernicus also possessed a conflicted personality. A cleric who lived during the tumultuous years of the Protestant Reformation, he maintained Lutheran sympathies. Having taken a vow of celibacy, he had relationships with at least one lover. Intellectually confident, he hesitated, however, to share his work with other academics. The theory that would change the world almost never saw the light of day. Copernicus's masterpiece might never have been published had it not been for a young mathematics professor named Georg Joachim Rheticus. He had heard of Copernicus's ideas and, his imagination racing, traveled hundreds of kilometers to a territory he was not allowed to enter because he was a Lutheran. The meeting between Rheticus and Copernicus in a small town in northern Poland became one of the most important in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe book explores the life of Copernicus, particularly the remarkable last twelve years of his life—years that indelibly altered the course of Western history. In \u003cem\u003eThe Secret of Copernicus\u003c\/em\u003e , Jack Repcheck presents a rich, accurate, and, above all, humane portrayal of the man who heralded the scientific revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e \"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174822658300,"sku":"9788501083302","price":79.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/887e06c551953316207760f5e731be7b.jpg?v=1778311610"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/jack-repcheck.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
