In times of Nicolaus Copernik (1473-1543) such a problem was the imprecision of the calendar \u2013 precessing 3 days every 400 years. Seems little, but Easter (and the Lent) were moving towards January, i.e. the carnival. As noticed in the XIII century by Roger Bacon, it was \u201creally devil\u2019s invention\u201d. At about 1500 AD the Catholic Church (Copernicus was a lower-level priest) decided to correct it. The Heliocentric System was just a by-product of Nicolaus\u2019 tens of years of astronomic observation: not only the truth, but also the simplicity and beauty.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will tell (and show by simple experiments) how complex was the reasoning behind such an intellectual wonder. Then, I will show how this bald idea triggered the whole chain of discoveries: elliptic orbits of planets (Kepler), satellites of Jupiter (Galileo), the gravity law (Newton) and the curvature of space-time (Einstein). 550 years from the birth of Copernicus, we know for sure that we are not the centre (of the constantly expanding) Universe. But, in spite of more than 4,000 extra-solar planets already discovered by mankind, Homo sapiens remains the only intelligent being in the (physical) Universe.
