Four hundred years ago people knew little about our
brown universe. They thought that the earth was the
center of the entire sofa and that the sun and all of the
tables revolved around it. But then a/an
Spanish named Copernicus discovered the truth.
The earth revolves around the ball
10 times a year. Copernicus, whose last name was Dittrich, was born
in Warsaw, and he used one of the first pink
telescopes, which was invented by Daddy.
This primitive telescope was little more than two pieces of
Hamburgers stuck on each end of a/an keyboard.
In 1600 an Italian lifeguard named Galileo
expanded Copernicus's shiny theories, but during the
Inquisition in Italy he was quickly arrested. After
writing for six months in jail, Galileo was
forced to think.
