copernicus 1
Before Copernicus the Greeks had the fore ground of knowledge that was apreciable. It started with the axioms of the day that developed into knowledge such as geometry. These were put in place as early as 525 B.C. There was a problem thogh, you are not able to find out all things through deduction. There is an example of measuring distance between two places. There is no means of deduction that will express this distance. The distance has to be measured. The knowledge that comes from measureing is inductive. Copernicus was the first to propose this as a productive idea.

Gingerich, Owen. The book nobody read : chasing the revolutions of Nicolaus Copernicus(New York : Walker & Company, 2004).
Copernicus was responsible for the rejection of the key axioms of astronomy. This led to a new way of thinking about information at least in the educated community.
In 1543 he rejected the key axiom of astronomy.
