Copernicus: He's Poland's heliocentric hero. The uplifted armillary sphere symbolizes his seminal contribution to our scientific understanding of Earth. 'Revolutionary' it was: Because he told us that the earth 'revolves' around the sun, rather than vice-versa. The statue is in Warsaw, but Copernicus belongs to all humanity. Thank you, Poland. [2003]
