In an era when the geocentric theory, which says that the Earth is the center of the universe and the planets move around it, was considered the truth of the world, and believing or studying anything that overturned that theory was a serious crime, the child prodigy Rafal learned of the possibility of the heliocentric theory through the words of the mysterious scholar Hubert.
He was called a genius by those around him, and even though he considered himself a genius, an uncontrollable and intense intellectual curiosity began to grow in him. “What on earth do I have to sacrifice to know everything about this world?” he asks, risking his own “knowledge,” “blood,” and even his life to prove the heliocentric theory.
