It's difficult to imagine how things stay in orbit, it's all to do with the speed of the object in orbit relative to the ground, and the fact that there is not much air resistance in space to slow a projectile down once it has velocity.
You have to imagine a large cannon on earth that can fire a cannon ball with great speed, from high above the ground (Imagine a cannon on top of a very tall mountain as high as the international space stations orbit for example).
Such ascannon situated at the North Pole for example, will fire a cannonball south, and if given enough power, the cannonball may land near the equator. The cannonball has started off high, but has been pulled towards the earth in that time, causing it to gradually bend or fall into the earth at the point of the equator.
Now consider much more powerful cannon. This time the ball is given so much velocity, that it flies off into space, though the earth's gravity bends it in slightly.
Somewhere between these two power settings is a setting that gives the ball enough velocity to end up back where it was, but since it's in space and there is little air resistance to slow it down, it just keeps going around and around - in orbit.
he thought the earth was the center of the universe and the sun and the planets orbiting the earth. but he was wrong.

Schrödinger's exp involved a cat placed inside a box w/ a vial of poisonous gas, released when an radioactive atom decays. Awnser by Jake Henderson
No. Such experiments are called 'thought' experiments. There is no need to try them. The purpose is to illustrate a point.
This is a variation on a philosophical thought experiment by Betrand Russell; how do we know there isn't a teapot orbiting the Sun between Jupiter and Mars? The answer is we don't, but it's very unlikely. Russell used the experiment to demonstrate the difference between believing something isn't true and being certain something isn't true.
The thought experiment Erwin Schrodinger created was "Schrodinger's cat" which at times has been described as a paradox. Schrodinger created this experiment in the year 1935.
Newtons (N) It was first thought of by sir issac newton > The force acts equally on both objects, and is rated in newtons.
A thought experiment.
Well Sir Issac Newton thought them up so I guess most people thought he should get credit.
the first encounter with another planet. it was a spacecraft sent by NASA to venus. it measured venus' temperature and is now thought to be orbiting the sun.
The thought of you is the only satellite orbiting the sphere of my concious mind.
