Nicolaus Copernicus (19 February 1473 - 24 May 1543) was a Renaissance mathematician and astronomer who formulated a heliocentric model of the universe which placed the Sun, rather than the Earth, at the center. The publication of Copernicus' 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. It began the Copernican Revolution and contributed importantly to the scientific revolution. Copernicus was born and died in Royal Prussia, a region of the Kingdom of Poland since 1466. Copernicus had a doctorate in canon law and, though without degrees, was a physician, polyglot, classics scholar, translator, governor, diplomat, and economist who in 1517 set down a quantity theory of money, a principal concept in economics to the present day, and formulated a version of Gresham's law in the year 1519, before Gresham. Nicolaus Copernicus was born on 19 February 1473 in the city of Toruń (Thorn), in the province of Royal Prussia, in the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland. His father was a merchant from Kraków and his mother was the daughter of a wealthy Toruń merchant. Nicolaus was the youngest of four children. His brother Andreas (Andrew) became an Augustinian canon at Frombork (Frauenburg). His sister Barbara, named after her mother, became a Benedictine nun and, in her final years, prioress of a convent in Chełmno (Kulm); she died after 1517. His sister Katharina married the businessman and Toruń city councilor Barthel Gertner and left five children, whom Copernicus looked after to the end of his life. Copernicus never married or had children.

Ihr seht hier unsere Überfahrt übers Frische Haff von Krynica Morska / Kahlberg nach Frombork / Frauenburg, der Wirkungsstätte von Nicolaus Copernicus mit anschließender Besichtigung von Stadt & Dom. Wir haben Frombork vom ehemaligen Wasserturm aus gefilmt, waren im Dom samt Burganlagen und in dem Krankenhaus, wo Copernicus als Arzt arbeitete. Hier ist alles sehr gut erhalten bzw. restauriert worden. Wir durften sogar im Museum filmen.
Urlaub an Polens Ostseeküste ist empfehlenswert. Wir machten nun schon Urlaub auf der Halbinsel Hel, in Rumia / Rahmel, in Danzig / Gdansk und Krynica Morska / Kahlberg und wir kommen bestimmt wieder!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
