Galileo did not prove that Earth was not flat (It had already been agreed that it was round). Galileo invented the telescope and used it to prove that there were objects which did not orbit the Earth, supporting Copernicus' Heliocentric model for the universe. The Earth was known to be round by the ancient Greeks, but I do not who it found out initially (sorry).
He knew it because he knew that the planets go around the Sun.
Ptomely thought that the earth was at the centre of the universe and everything revolved around it. His model had everything moving in perfect circles or circles within circles. Copernicus suggested that the Earth in fact revolved around the sun. It wasn't until Galileo and the invention of the telescope that Copernicus was proved right Later Kepler went on to prove that the planets orbit in elliptical and not circular orbits.
The astronomical telescope.
During the Scientific Revolution of the 17th century, astronomers Copernicus and Galileo discovered controversial information about the universe. Copernicus proposed a heliocentric theory that suggested the sun was the center of the universe which Galileo supported with more evidence. Copernicus's work "On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres" and Galileo's "Dialogue on the Two Chief Systems of the World" were both declared unbiblical by the church. Both Copernicus and Galileo were thought of as going against the official position of the church and the church didn't like this because they didn't want people to doubt them. This also upset the church because they believed the sun was created for the earth to provide light and the fact that the earth spins on its axis and orbits the sun would prove the bible is inaccurate. When Galileo was ordered to recant his works, he agreed but as he walked away mumbled "And yet it does move".
Ptolemy thought that the Earth was the center of solar system and most people believed this theory. But Copernicus thought that the Sun was the center of solar system and most people didn't believed this theory. Who was right? Copernicus was right because later Galileo prove that if the Earth was at the center then he couldn't see the phases of Venus. Sentences for heliocentric. Galileo proved that the Copernicus's theory which was heliocentric was right.
Becuase every one thought that the earth was the center of the universe (religion) and he tried to prove them wrong but they were to powerful with their numbers
because he wanted to and he wanted to prove that the sun was in the middle of the universe and not the earth
Copernicus proved to mankind that the sun was the center of the universe, not the Earth. We know now that he was mostly correct. The sun is the center of the solar system.
No. He was the first in Western society to legitimately propose that the sun was the center, but it took others to prove it. The sun is not the center of the universe, merely the center of our solar system.
Ptolemy was the first person to introduce the theory of a geocentric universe, a universe in which everything revolves around the earth itself. But in 1543, Nicolas Copernicus was the first person to introduce and prove the idea that the universe is heliocentric, a universe in which everything revolves around the sun.

Copernicus created the mathematical theory to prove that the Sun, not the Earth, was the centre of our solar system. Galilei provided the calculations and observations to prove Copernicus' theory.
Copernicus is the first in modern times, but he may have been basing his theory on the work of an earlier Greek Natural Philosopher. Galileo used a telescope and mathematics to prove Copernicus' hypothesis.

They didnt - there is no parallel universe.
I think you are referring to Nicolaus Copernicus.
