What reading level is The Gradual Acceptance of the Copernican Theory of the Universe book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
(2nd series, 1909. ) 8 Riccioli: Aim. Nov. : II, 288-289; see frontispiece.
80 against it, 1 and Riccioli himself claims 2 to have stated "40 new arguments in behalf of Copernicus and 77 against him. " But these sound somewhat familiar to the reader of anti-Copernican literature : as, for instance, ''which is more natural, straight or circular movement?" Or, the Copernican argument that move- ment is easier if the object moved is smaller involves a matter of Faith since it implies a question of... God's power ; for to God all is alike, there is no hard nor easy. 3 Although diurnal movement is useful to the earth alone and so, according to the Copernicans, the earth should have the labor of it, Riccioli argues that every- thing was created for man ; let the stars revolve around him. The sun may be nobler than the earth, but man is nobler than the sun. 4 If the earth's movement were admitted, Ptolemy's de- fense would be broken down through the elimination of the epicycles of the superior planets : here, if ever, the Copernicans appear to score, as Riccioli himself admits, 5 but he calls to his aid Tycho Brahe and the Bible.
