I'll tell my husband the amateur astronomer about this one. Good story find!
To: lizol
"We can be almost 100 percent sure this is Copernicus..." LOL! That's pretty sure!
To: Borges
I was just thinking the same thing ;-).

I'm always fascinated at how there's almost a line of delineation, or a magical length of time after a person's death where it beomes OK to dig them up for curiosity's sake.

I wonder if he first proposed the concept of "Global warming" and "ozone depletion"?

Copernicus' story is a very interesting one.
To: lizol
Read The Sleepwalkers, great book on Tycho, Copernicus, Kepler. Also the split between church and science.

You realize, of course, that the heliocentric theory is still just a theory.

Copernicus's intellectual enemies weren't believers in a flat earth, just in a geocentric solar system in which the spherical sun revolved around a spherical earth. Educated people by his time had known the Earth to be round for centuries and centuries. (I know you were just making a joke, but I'm such a geek that it actually did bug me).
To: lizol
The grave was in bad condition and not all remains were foundIsn't it Galileo's finger that someone cut off and saved? Maybe they did the same with this guy.
