Copernicus, one of the major Renaissance person who speak against the church boldly and correct Ptolemy’s theory. Before Copernicus came out of his theory, everyone accept the theory that the Earth is the center of the universe. This untrue theory has been last for approximately 700 years. When Copernicus present this theory, he got himself into a lot of trouble. But, he use his courage to argue against the church, although it doesn’t get accepted after his death, but we can see his courage. He is able to change the world. He gives us new ideas, new information, and new way of thinking. His theory until now is still been use today. What a major genius he is.
