Let's just say he was a human with great deeds that inspired Germany and Poland for making greater deeds towards the unknown science of discovery!

So are the Germans now going to say that the Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche who is ethnically Polish, is now ethnically German because he spoke fluent German and had relatives with German names, like they are saying about Copernicus?
Outside of Germany/Germanic areas, Poles historically understood German culture and spoke German more then anyone else.

Copernicus's father was ethnically Polish and anyone with even the faintest of knowledge of international law knows that the father is the more important spouse when it comes to determining the nationality status of their next of kin.

Surely you can not means that Chopin was actually French?!!!
Chopin? I have no idea of his lineage at all tbh, Harry. I have read up on Copernicus, though. He was born 7 years after Thorn became Torun.
That was actually a pretty good and funny response from Harry.
President Obama who is 1/2 white and 1/2 black just recently filled out his census. He noted "black" when the ancestral question came up. Evidently, people are free to choose their lineage as it depends on how they "feel" about themselves.
Of course in Chopin's case, much of his music pays tribute to Poland so there is no ambiguity there.

Following Seanus' statement that nationality is determined mostly following the paternal line, Chopin indeed would be French. But he was born in Poland, therefore he is Polish. Let's just say he's half Polish, half French.

Oh cume oooooon....without his german scientific genes, his growing up in a german culture family, studying with other Germans and his book being first published by a german printer using the german-invented book printing technique there wouldn't be a Copernikus (I mean we wouldn't know of him).
Gimme the half!

You are too generous.
Did Copernicus have a chance to read Aristarchus or Philolaus works?
Surely you can not means that Chopin was actually French?!!!
Not at all. He was the one exception to the rule. ;)
Gimme the half!
As long as i get the other half:)
Did Copernicus have a chance to read Aristarchus or Philolaus works?
Yes he had, both at Jagiellonian University and in Italy.

Cool
All his studies were in in latin, latin was the official administrative language of Poland, he never wrote a single scientific work in polish or german languages.
Probably correct until we find some lost manuscripts. My point was this; Copernicus was an astronomer, a churchman, a physician by training, an economist, statesman, soldier, poet and even a painter. He had good knowledge of various mechanics, surveying, etc. All of this done under the Polish king, for the Polish king, by the Polish king, with the Polish king.........
As we know, the siege of Olsztyn (Allenstein) proved who he was and what side he thought himself being (on).
Kopernik? Of course he was Polish. Period.
Why of course?
Coz a woman said so.
hehe... yeah... Kopernik was a woman also...
;)
;)
Yes! and God is a woman as well
hehe... yeah... Kopernik was a woman also..
And maybe Curie-Skłodowska too???
God is a woman as well
.....then so is the devil.

Naah, get ur facts straight - she was a wannabe woman
But of course
how did you think we found out about it?

The two physicists are the third pair of researchers to have received the Copernicus Award, which the DFG and FNP have conferred every two years since 2006 to one scientific personality from Germany and one from Poland. The award is named after the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) and is intended to serve as a symbol of the close cooperation between Germany and Poland in the area of research. The two organisations donate the prize money in equal shares; each of the two award recipients receives half...
Germans and Poles have learned to share, apparently...
