What happens

In 1543, the year of his death, Nicolaus Copernicus published On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres. The work argued for a heliocentric model of the universe as opposed to the common Ptolemaic view of an Earth-centered universe. This work threatened the literal truth of the Bible as well as the long established geocentric view of the universe. Copernicus had no mathematical backing for his argument, but this would be provided by later generations of astronomers and mathematicians.
