The actual truth is not that heroic. But we want hero.
The path is the church did accept we watch from earth but every heaven body revolve around the sun except us. Catholic use this model and very accurately beat the Muslim and the Hans (do not want to use chinese as the fight started in yuan dynasty, Mongolian and Tibetan etc are not Hans) in the Far East precisely of these tables based on actual observation.
This comes from a guy x then his student called kepler pointed out … Newton use Kepler not just a Copernicus model only.
The key is Copernicus is only partially right as the orbit is NOT as he said. It is not circular. and in fact he did not have the details and hence might as well not exist and might not affect the history. That is why his book is ok for many decades after publishing. It is only of the models. And not exactly right like others. the actual path is those who have calculation and a detailed accurate projection which Copernicus did not have.
That revolve around the earth model worked. Not Epicircie.
In truth even today if you observe the sky from earth you cannot just have a solar model. You have the earth factor as well (like the earth minor movement around its axis abd hence North Star change from vega to polar then back to vega). Just solar modal is not right.
Now whilst the looking thru telescope did disturb the worldview. It does not matter.
And it is the attitude of Galileo that is more an issue. The pope is his friend you know well before he is a pope. Teasing him as a joker does not work in those days.
I am not saying C and G is totally wrong. I just say if they were more careful (like C publish his only after his death). And G accept the practical model of using sun as a centre based on actual observation and do not write satire … instead proposing a model that incorporates elliptical orbit, earth role etc but everything revolve around the sun except the earth (then do something about it gradually).
Anyway that is not the history of hero we read. We want drama. We want …
