6. Newton, Einstein, and Hawking are all scientists who made contributions to the study of the universe. 1. What conclusion did Copernicus’
mathematical calculations lead to?
2. Why couldn’t he tell anyone about the
theory?

5. Do you think it’s right for Copernicus to publish his theory that late?Read the text and answer
the following questions.His mathematical calculations led to the conclusion that the earth was not the center of the solar system.What conclusion did Copernicus’ mathematical calculations lead to?Because the powerful Christian Church would have punished him for even suggesting such an idea.2. Why couldn’t he tell anyone about the theory?4 years.3. How many years did Copernicus work on the problem to complete his theory?Students give their own answers.5. Do you think it’s right for Copernicus to publish his theory that late?He published his theory as he lay dying in 1543.4. When did Copernicus publish his theory?2 If you were Nicolaus Copernicus, would you have hidden your theory for so many years?
Give your reasons. As a scientist, Copernicus was more
cautious than coward. If he had
published his ideas at his time, he would have been killed just as Bruno who was burnt to death because his theory was against the Christian Church’s.
Every time a new idea appears,
there are always rejections. It’s normal.
Scientists should have patience to
spread their truth.1) 这个句子,好像一点也讲不通。
