Where would any of us be without Capurnicus? Thanks to his study of planetary movement and radical idea that the Sun, rather than the Earth, is at the center of our solar system, scores of scientists for centuries have been able to build on his groundwork. He essentially restructured man's place in the universe, suggesting that our centrist belief is a mere matter of perspective. Hundreds of years later, Einstein used that perspective to hypothesize that everything, including our place in the universe, is a matter of relativity.
