You really think Copernicus was the first to discover heliocentricity? PLEASE. The Egyptians had it down to the point they were measuring distances using astronomy. Omar Khyam in the 12the century had to be using calculus to know the length of a year to ten decimals. The reason his work was published was purely a matter of inventing the printing press from watching a grape press.

There are so many wrong ideas about Copernicus as there are comments in most of such discussions. First of all, Copernicus proved heliocentricity so it is not a “theory” as some dim-witted writers and academics allege. Second, Copernicus published “Commemontariolus” so that the dim-witted know that he discovered heliocentricity over 30 years before 1543. Third there is a paper at Jagiellonian Library where Copernicus studied when he was in his teens and this paper is attributed to him – on heliocentricity. Finally, to end this nonsense in Copernicus’ De revolutionibus the chapter reads essentially “Proof of the Earth’s triple motion in space about the Sun.” The dim-witted ought to note the word “Proof.” While Aristarchus left a vague comment about heliocentrism-nothing direct exists from Aristarchus, what matters is that all Greek astronomy was based on spheres of ether – real but not matter. Contrary to “clockworks” of pre-Copernican astronomy made with spheres or ether, Copernicus has the first true system of material planets in empty space, which ancient Greeks and until Copernicus in astronomy was believed to be filled up (outer space) with immaterial ether (planets, Moon, stars were made of ether). The word revolution is from Copernicus’ title of his work, and to honor Copernicus’ work it denotes all revolutionary work which followed Copernicus’ and was based on Copernicus’ matter, atoms, and gravity (which explicitly lists and explains how they form matter and gravity of celestial objects) — you all need to simply read what Copernicus wrote unless you want to still be the dim-witted…… no wonder it took over 400 years to have Copernicus work translated into English….. shame.

Simply put, when Copernicus was buried, he not not particularly famous, and so there was no particular need for a traditional marked grave, according to the custom of that time.

He kind of looks like the current Pope, Benedict XVI. I wonder if if they are related?
