Revolution Edit Meaning

The origin is interesting: Copernicus published a book in 1543 (apparently it's title is contraversial) Called something to the effect of: "On the Revolution of Heavenly Spheres".

This book caused such an uprising, that the word revolution gained it's new and now common meeting.
