→What Copernicus would have wanted?
have taken "but this would hardly have been espoused by Copernicus" out, as it is uncited so impossible to tell what Copernicus would have wanted.--[[User:Pdunc|Pdunc]] 10:57, 8 May 2009 (EDT)

:OK, I agree the sentence was not cited. I took it to mean that since Copernicus was a Christian, he would still have had an earth-centric view of the universe even though he realised that the earth wasn't the physical centre of the solar system. I think that's probably true, but in the absence of a citation I won't reinsert it.--[[User:CPalmer|CPalmer]] 11:21, 8 May 2009 (EDT)

If the subject here is what Copernicus said, allegedly or otherwise, go to the library and check out "On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres" by him. You'll find it in volume 15 of Britannica's "Great Books of the Western World". [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 11:30, 8 May 2009 (EDT)
