內(nèi)容概要
當(dāng)尼古拉斯·哥白尼宣布地球不是靜止不動(dòng),也不是位于宇宙中心、而是圍繞太陽(yáng)運(yùn)行時(shí),他便引起了雙重的動(dòng)蕩;一場(chǎng)全面的科學(xué)革命和教會(huì)的一片恐慌,并最終導(dǎo)致伽利略在羅馬異端裁判所受審。 哥白尼播下了使科學(xué)演變成現(xiàn)代文化主流的種子,它對(duì)于我們宇宙觀的形成也至關(guān)重要。本書作者不僅解釋了這些變化是怎樣伴隨哥白尼理論而產(chǎn)生的,而且還揭示了為什么是哥白尼率先得出了地球在快速運(yùn)動(dòng)這一似乎荒謬絕倫、令人難以置信的觀點(diǎn)。
