Question

Which new idea did Copernicus introduce that significantly modified the egocentric model of the universe

Answer 1

Copernicus introduced the idea that the Sun, rather than the Earth, is the center of the universe. This heliocentric model of the universe significantly modified the egocentric model, which had placed the Earth at the center. Copernicus's idea proposed that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun in circular orbits, challenging the long-held belief that everything in the universe revolved around the Earth.
