Extended reading: Einstein's speech at the 410th anniversary of Copernicus's death
Speech at the 410th anniversary meeting of Copernicus's death Author: [United States] Einstein today we commemorate such a person with a happy and awe inspiring mood. Almost everyone has made greater contributions to the spiritual liberation of the West from the shackles of religious and academic rule. Although some scholars in classical Greece believed that the earth was not the natural center of the world; But this understanding of the universe was not really recognized in ancient times.
Aristotle and the Greek school of astronomy continued to adhere to the concept of the center of the earth, and few had any doubt about it at that time. To convincingly explain the superiority of the concept of the sun center in detail, we must have rare independence and intuition of thinking, and be familiar with astronomical facts, which were not easy to obtain in that era.
Copernicus' great achievement not only paved the way to modern astronomy; It also helped people cause decisive changes in their view of the universe. Once we realize that the earth is not the center of the world, but only one of the smaller planets, the delusion of human centered will be untenable. In this way, Copernicus taught people to be modest and cautious through his work and his great personality.
No nation can be proud of such a person among them. Because national pride is a completely boring hobby, it is difficult to stand in front of an independent man like Copernicus. This is Einstein's speech at the Copernicus Memorial conference held at Columbia University in New York in December 1953.
