Dialogues on a Broken Sphere

BBC Radio 3

by STEPHEN DAVIS with He stopped the sun, he moved the earth
The Polish people gave him birth
Koppernigk's discoveries concerning cosmology could turn the order of medieval, Catholic-dominated Europe upside-down. His dilemma as a Canon of the Church and as a scientist is - should he publish and perhaps be damned for ever? In 1539, a young Lutheran scholar travels to Poland to try to persuade him to make up his mind.
