The body of the man who started off the modern scientific revolution in the 16th century, Nicholas Copernicus, has been found and his face reconstructed.
It’s pretty clear that James Cromwell was born to play him in a film…
So…Copernicus was the farmer in “Babe”?

My first thought was “Spike Milligan”.
Nicolaus Copernicus – worked out heliocentrism, wrote the Goon Show, and died.

Pedantic bastard here. They’ve found a body buried near the altar of the cathedral where the astronomer-Canon worked, or served, or whatever you call it. DNA from the remains matches that from hair found in a book owned by Copernicus. Therefore it’s the same bloke – probably Copernicus, but maybe not. A suitable bit of uncertainty about a man who caused rather a lot.
I kind agree with valdemar although i fail to understand the use of the phrase “caused a lot” i would say and am indeed saying that the man discovered a lot without the intention to cause something.
