Firstly the Aristotelian view (F) reasoned that crystal spheres capable of moving the stars around the Earth, however the Copernican hypothesis reasoned that the Earth’s rotation was the result of their apparent movement. Furthermore through justifying his theory’s with mathematics and not the traditional philosophy, Copernicus defied the customary hierarchy castigations. The theory also destroyed the concepts of Aristotelian physics. Through classifying the Earth as another planet, Copernicus theory suggested that the earthy sphere was different from the heavenly one, thus questioning the location of heaven and god.
