Question

why was nicolaus copernicuss publication in 1543 considered the beginning of the scientific revolution?
it challenged the accepted view of earths place in the universe with mathematical evidence
it was the first book ever printed
it had no impact on scientific thinking
it supported all traditional religious teachings

Explanation:

Copernicus's publication presented a heliocentric model (Sun - centered universe). Before this, the geocentric (Earth - centered) view was dominant. His work used mathematical evidence to challenge the long - held geocentric view. The first book ever printed was not his work (Gutenberg's Bible was earlier). If it had no impact, it couldn't be the start of a revolution. And it did not support all traditional religious teachings (as it contradicted the Earth - centered view which was intertwined with some religious interpretations at the time).

Answer:

It challenged the accepted view of Earth's place in the universe with mathematical evidence.
