Most revolutions start with big ideas, not gunshots. The most
important modern revolution occurred almost 500 years ago
(in March 1543) and began with the gnawing annoyance we nitpickers
have with inaccuracy. A Polish mathematician named Nicolaus
Copernicus became increasingly frustrated with the obvious errors
in Ptolemy’s treatise called the “Almagest” where Ptolemy explained
how the planets moved and why stars never moved. Based on his
own observations and calculations, this new scientist devised his own
hypothesis that better accounted for the movement of the planets.
Unlike Ptolemy and all other preceding astronomers, this scientist
did not place Earth at the center of the universe.
