Way to completely misunderstand the principle. The idea behind it is that there is nothing in particular about Earth that makes it special in comparison to the rest of the universe. Its called the Copernician principle because Copernicus stated that the universe doesn't revolve around the Earth which was a pretty fucking big idea at the time.
