The Nicolaus Copernicus Grave Mystery. a Dialog of Experts
POLISH ACADEMY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES The Nicolaus Copernicus On 22–23 February 2010 a scientific conference “The Nicolaus Copernicus grave mystery. A dialogue of experts” was held in Kraków. grave mystery The institutional organizers of the conference were: the European Society for the History of Science, the Copernicus Center for Interdisciplinary Studies, the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences with its two commissions (the Commission on the History of Science, and the Commission on the Philosophy of Natural Sciences), A dialogue of experts the Institute for the History of Science of the Polish Academy of Sciences, and the Tischner European University. Edited by Michał Kokowski The purpose of this conference was to discuss the controversy surrounding the discovery of the grave of Nicolaus Copernicus and the identification of his remains. For this reason, all the major participants of the search for the grave of Nicolaus Copernicus and critics of these studies were invited to participate in the conference. It was the first, and so far only such meeting when it was poss- ible to speak openly and on equal terms for both the supporters and the critics of the thesis that the grave of the great astronomer had been found and the identification of the found fragments of his skeleton had been completed. [...] In this book, we present the aftermath of the conference – full texts or summa- ries of them, sent by the authors. In the latter case, where possible, additional TERRA information is included on other texts published by the author(s) on the same subject. The texts of articles presented in this monograph were subjected to sev- MERCURIUS eral stages of review process, both explicit and implicit. -
Nicolaus Copernicus
Nicolaus Copernicus Nicolaus Copernicus was an astronomer, mathematician, translator, artist, and physicist among other things. He is best known as the first astronomer to posit the idea of a heliocentric solar system—a system in which the planets and planetary objects orbit the sun. His book, De revolutionibus orbium coelestium, is often thought of as the most important book ever published in the field of astronomy. The ensuing explosion or research, observation, analysis, and science that followed its publication is referred to as the Copernican Revolution. Copernicus was born February 19, 1473, in what is now northern Poland. He was the son of wealthy and prominent parents and had two sisters and a brother. Sometime between 1483 and 1485, his father died, and he was put under the care of his paternal uncle, Lucas Watzenrode the Younger. Copernicus studied astronomy for some time in college but focused on law and medicine. While continuing his law studies in the city of Bologna, Copernicus became fascinated in astronomy after meeting the famous astronomer Domenico Maria Novara. He soon became Novara’s assistant. Copernicus even began giving astronomy lectures himself. After completing his degree in canon (Christian) law in 1503, Copernicus studied the works of Plato and Cicero concerning the movements of the Earth. It was at this time that Copernicus began developing his theory that the Earth and planets orbited the sun. He was careful not to tell anyone about this theory as it could be considered heresy (ideas that undermine Christian doctrine or belief). In the early 1500s, Copernicus served in a variety of roles for the Catholic Church, where he developed economic theories and legislation. -

Mit Kolping Nach Danzig Und Masuren Vom 09
KOLPINGSFAMILIE OPLADEN-ZENTRAL Mit Kolping nach Danzig und Masuren vom 09. - 18. Mai 2017 Dienstag, den 09. Mai 2017 Um 14.15 Uhr am frühen Nachmittag fuhren wir mit 36 Teilnehmern und kleinem Handgepäck vom Kolpinghaus in Opladen in Richtung Köln/Bonner Flughafen. Denn unser Reisegepäck hatten wir den Sonntag vorher in einen Transporter eingeladen. Mit diesem wurde unser Gepäck nach Rheda – Wiedenbrück zu unserem Reisebus gebracht. Nach dem Umladen fuhr Herbert Jennen mit unserem Kolpingbruder Ro- bert Kowall als Copilot weiter in Richtung Danzig, dem ersten Ziel unserer Reise. Wir starteten um 17:20 Uhr mit einem Flugzeug der ungarischen WIZZ-Air mit der Flugnummer W6 1672 in Richtung Danzig. Im Fluganstieg konnten die am Fenster Sitzenden erst noch das Autobahnband der A4 verfolgen, anschließend die Agger- talsperre, Olpe und letztlich noch die Biggetalsperre sehen, bevor wir das lockere Wolkenband durchstießen, um die uns zugewiesene Flughöhe zu erreichen. Durch größere und kleinere Wolkenlücken konnte man immer wieder einen Blick auf die unter uns dahin gleitende Landschaft werfen. Kurz vor der Landung auf dem Flugha- fen Lech Walesa in Danzig entdeckten wir schon einige Seen der Kaschubischen Schweiz. Pünktlich um 18:55 Uhr setzte unsere Maschine auf der Rollbahn auf und rollte bis zum relativ neuen Flughafengebäude. Bei strahlend blauem Himmel und 9° Außentemperatur verließen wir die Maschine über die Freitreppen und liefen ein kur- zes Stück über das Flugfeld bis zu dem Flughafengebäude. Dort angekommen mussten wir eine kurze Zeit auf unseren Bus im Gebäude warten. Als der Bus letzt- endlich auf den Parkplätzen vor dem Gebäude eintraf, war auch schon unsere Reise- leiterin Alicja Wrona, die einige Mitglieder unserer Reisegruppe schon auf der Nie- derschlesischen Fahrt 2015 kennengelernt hatten, im Bus. -
