A groundbreaking revision of the Copernican Principle which is that the Earth was not the fixed point at the center of the known universe (and therefore we are not unique). Renowned astrophysicist and author Caleb Scharf argues that the principle has never been entirely true and therefore requires that we put aside our Copernican worldview and embrace the possibility that we are in a delicate balance between mediocrity and significance, order and chaos.
