What evidence did Galileo discover for the sun center model of the solar system?

Galileo discovered Jupiter's Moons. After them for a while, he realized that they orbited around the planet. He took a look at Mars and Venus and realized that they orbited around the Sun. This let him think that the Earth was orbiting the sun as well. His theory here, however, argued against Ptolemic's model thinking that the Earth was the center.


What does the idiom under the sun mean?

It depends on what the rest of the phrase said. "Everything under the sun" is a figurative way of saying "everything," while "under the sun" alone would mean out in the sunlight.

What was the name of the Scientist who proposed the Helicentric Model?

The earliest known proposal that the Sun was at the center of our solar system while the planets moved around it was by Aristarchus of Samos, a Greek mathematician and astronomer who lived in the 3rd century BC. (Others may have proposed it earlier, but no reference to them remains after 2400 years.) However, the views of Aristotle proved easier to accept. It wasn't until Copernicus developed the same theory (probably independently) based on more accurate and complete observational data that the heliocentric view of the solar system was widely accepted.

How often can the police enter your home while you are on house arrest?

This depends on what type of house arrest you're under. House arrest administered by the local sheriffs office can't help yourself incarceration. In that particular case, the sheriffs office can enter to your house as many times as they need to, to ensure you are complying with their conditions. If your house arrest is a form of probation, then only your probation officer and their team may enter your house as often as they need to, to ensure you are complying with those conditions.

Can a person continue to collect unemployment benefits while they are under house arrest for selling illegal drugs?

If you disclose this information to the unemployment office, you will be denied benefits. The reason you will be denied is based on your availability to seek and accept immediate full time work. For example, if you are offered a job tomorrow and cannot accept this position based on the fact you are under house arrest, you are not meeting the unemployment requirements of the law. They do not care why you are not available.

What were Galileo's philosophies?

Galileo (1564-1642) is sometimes viewed as the "Father of Modern Science" because of his various contributions to science. However, his most controversial position was when he attempted to promote the heliocentric theory, that the earth revolves around the sun, a theory opposed by the Catholic Church because it was contrary to a literal reading of scriptures. The pope reached an agreement with Galileo that he would not promote this theory, unless he could irrefutably prove his position. However, Galileo was strong-willed and abrasive, and soon broke his promise. He was eventually tried by the Inquisition and placed under house arrest, on condition that he recant his views. Galileo was fortunate, firstly to have important friends, and secondly that the Church's attitude to scientific inquiry was gradually becoming more liberal. A predecessor, Giordano Bruno (1548-1600) was burnt at the stake for similar sins. Today, the theory of heliocentrism is universally accepted, but it took until 1965 for the Roman Catholic Church to revoke its condemnation of Galileo.
