According to historians, astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus may have had an IQ ranging from 160 to 200, which is why he was able to figure out heliocentrism so long ago. What modern country was the birthplace of Copernicus?

Copernicus is arguably one of the most famous Poles of all-time. His theory - no longer just a theory, of course - was that the Earth is a planet which not only orbits the Sun every year, but also turns once a day on its own axis. Of course there were many detractors at the time - those who would never give up the idea that the Earth wasn't the center of the universe.
