The correct answer is Copernicus. I just took the test.
Copernicus (1473-1543) founder of modern astronomy.
The idea first came from Aristotle, the Great philosopher of the fourth century B.C. Aristotle was the first to theory that the earth was the center of the universe.
Aristotle did not believe that the Sun was at the center; he thought Earth was. Aristarchus, a Greek astronomer, is probably the earliest person we know of who supported a heliocentric solar system.
Copernicus, but he also believed the sun was the center of the universe which wasn't completely correct either.
Wisdom
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.
He was the guy who first thought the earth was the center of the universe
Copernicus.

The first scientist to say the earth is not the centre of the whole universe was Nicolaus Copernicus early in the sixteenth century.
Copernicus was a polish astronomer that first formed the theory that the Earth was at the center of the universe.
Galileo Galilei
Aristarchus of Samoa showed the first known model that placed the Sun at the centre of the known Universe.
No--he believed that the sun was the center of the universe.
Nicolaus Copernicus was the first person to say that the universe revolved around the sun. Before that, it was highly accepted that the earth was the center of the universe.
Albert Einstein.Related Information:Einstein who's General Theory of Relativity and Principle of Equivalence (see links below), suggests that curved space/time, defines the universe as geodesic and may have no actual center. So Earth, like everything else in our universe, exists on its geodesic plane and not at its center.The death of the theory of an Earth-centered universe began when Copernicus first suggested that Earth was not even the center of our solar system. Though this idea was not well received at the time, it was later confirmed by the classic observations and calculations of GalileoThe answer of Albert Einstein fails to account for the fact that the center of the universe question was answered well before Einstein was born.
