Scientists say Copernicus' remains found

. . .Researchers believe they have identified the remains of Nicolaus Copernicus by comparing DNA from a skeleton they have found with that of hair retrieved from one of the 16th-century astronomer's books.

Jerzy Gassowski, an academic at an archaeology school in Poland, also says facial reconstruction of the skull his team found buried in a cathedral in Poland closely resembles existing portraits of Copernicus, whose theories identified the Sun, not the Earth, as the center of the universe.

Gassowski and Marie Allen, a Swedish DNA expert, told reporters about their findings in Warsaw on Thursday.

Allen said DNA from the bones and teeth matches that of hair found in a book the Polish astronomer owned. It is in a library at Sweden's Uppsala University.

OR... they've found Copernicus' house-servant that was cleaning up his books.




Very cool though.

Quick, check that book! See if he's got any ideas on retrieving space junk, like say a missing toolbag...

He just showed that the toolbag revolves around the Earth and not how to bring the toolbag down from the heavens.

They can do than with trees also...on Forenics they got kinda DNA...actually chemicals to solve a case where would was taken from one place and used in a murder scene.
