Nicolaus Copernicus
People used to think the Earth was the center of the universe, which was erroneous. The truth was found by Nicolaus Copernicus! He was born in 1473 in Poland and is credited with creating the sun-centered solar system paradigm that we know today. He traveled widely over Europe throughout his life. What was he like physically while he was alive?
What Nicolaus Copernicus Really Looked Like
His older portrayals are erroneous and do not do him justice. He is often portrayed as a hollowed-out and haggard figure. With the help of modern technology, we can now see a more authentic portrayal of him on film. Regardless, we believe he continues to appear melancholy. Perhaps this is a common characteristic of geniuses!
