19 February is reserved to Nicolaus Copernicus
I'm late again...but Copernicus doesn’t mind, he knows the universe doesn’t revolve around him. ;)
Nicolaus Copernicus was a Renaissance mathematician and astronomer who formulated a model of the universe that placed the Sun rather than the Earth at the center of the universe.
The publication of this model in his book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres) just before his death in 1543 is considered a major event in the history of science, triggering the Copernican Revolution and making an important contribution to the Scientific Revolution.

Some folks late is immeasurable against some folks early..........
ReplyDeleteI think it has a lot to do with birth trauma, or lack of it. I was slightly premature, and I am generally a few minutes early..
