Premium Member Nicolaus Copernicus

Nicolaus Copernicus
said earth was not the universe’s center. Thus,
controversy from religious backlash ensued.
Later other scientists made his ideas better viewed.

Premium Member Copernicus

I’ve been learning some on Copernicus
I still don’t know where he’s from
Or anything about him
I’ll just tell people he’s a rookie QB
For Ohio state. Why not?
Who even cares?

 I Am Free of Bondage, Breaking Chains of Misery
 shattering the Crux, crucifying Veils of Slavery
 vanquishing the Impermanent for nothing is of Impermanence
 by the Greater Way, I claim the Sun like Copernicus

Geno 2

Copernicus could not slumber
With a maid on his cucumber
For good or bad
My mum and dad
Resulted from any number *

*National Geographic's Geno 2.0 project
reported my mother AND father share
the DNA of Copernicus)

Premium Member Nicholaus Copernicus is so Weird

Nicolaus Copernicus claimed the earth orbits the sun
Other fourth graders joked about it and made lots of fun.
His parents were embarrassed by their weird decisive child.
His theories changed understanding of the universe. Isn’t that wild?

On Wages and Wars Without Votes

A donation of currency given
Removed democracy
Behind the lamb
All were without food

A parable in time?

Outside of Copernicus and Erwin Schrödinger
Evasion equation removed a sound mind


Proof of antitrust in
The contrapositive

Galileo Galilei

An avid student of Copernicus
And keen observer of the universe,
The founding father of astronomy,
Philosopher and polymath was he.
Punished by Urban for his heresy,
For his heliocentric the-o-ry,
He appeared before the Inquisition
Which required his public recantation.
Imprisoned, muttered :”and yet it moves”
But this false recantation nothing proves.

Through the Eye of God

Through the Eye of God
The universe has exposed
It's complexities upon complexities
Inflexibly infinite
Natural laws
Copernicus theorized it
Newton wrote it's laws of motion
Einstein proved it
We live it
Look through the Eye of God
And you may see
You in your future

Premium Member Replying To Bertrand Russell

Science is what we believe to know while philosophy is what we would love to know!*

*With all due respect to Bertrand Russell I disagree with his statement: " Science is what we know and philosophy is what we do not Know."

We only have to think of Ptolemy's Geocentric system that was science for thirteen centuries till Copernicus came along to prove it a myth!

I Was the Truth

To worship God Shiva linga hundreds of kilo-liters of milk being wasted
Imagine how many hundred of proletarian child could have been served with nutritious food in such quantities of milk
for some days.
Please hang me as a heretic
Such as Copernicus who was killed by the fanatic
But know that I was
the truth.

(Shivratri is one of the ritual of the Hindus. 
In this day lakhs of woman pour a lot of milk upon an idol called shivlinga in the temple)
