  2. What do you mean by "name thing"?

  3. Nicolas Copernicus lived 1473-1543, one of the greatest of the Ancient Philosphers, (early day scientist).  He solved the matter of telling the world that earth was not the Center of the Universe.  He took on the writings of the famous Aristotle, whose earth centered philosphy had been respected and protected for 2000 years.  Others had been put to death for challenging Aristotle's theory.  Not by Aristotle though.  Copernicus did calculations for many years, in secret, and did not reveal his writings until just before he died of natural causes.

  4. dont know

  5. The family name is: "Copernicus". See the wikipedia website. C for Catholic Church persecution avoider. He was too wary to get caught and punished while still alive, for his beliefs (published after his death), unlike my hero, Giordano Bruno, whom the Vatican burnt at the stake in 1600 for the heresy of stating that there was life outside the Earth. Galileo Galilei was forced to recant his beliefs, even though they were based on observations that he made with his telescope. Under threat of torture, if he did not do as they demanded, he was kept under house arrest for the rest of his life, with only his daughter being allowed to see him.
