Both Aristotle and Galileo triggered a Paradigm Shift.
Galileo mainly influenced the world of 'scientists'.
To be honest a universe with or without earth as centre doesn't matter that much
Probably Newton made more difference, only would there have been a 'Newton' without Galilei
But also Newton mainly influenced the world of 'scientists'.
Aristotle cause a Major Paradigm shift in The Western World. A reality Redesign.
One that changed the view about reality from a holistic view (The One, The Fire, The All, ..) in a creationist view. Physical common sense reality + supreme God.

Galileo challenged Aristotle's belief that heavier objects fell faster than lighter ones.
Aristotle (384-322 BC), Copernicus (1473-1543), Galileo (1564-1642), Newton (1642-1727), Einstein (1879-1955)
Aristotle said the earth was in the center. Ptolemy supported Aristotle and added to it. Copernicus said the sun was in the middle. Galileo also said the sun was in the center and added to Copernicus.
af Example: a hammer falls faster than a feather Galileo: Proved that an objects mass has no effect on its rate of acceleration as it falls. What causes things to fall at different rates here on earth is air resistance.

No, Aristotle did

they Both researched that the earth was round
Aristotle and Galileo Galilie
Galileo got it right. But he had built a telescope so he had an advantage.
