Ptolemy's theory was incorrect because he believed the Earth was at the center of the universe and that the other planets and the Sun revolved around it. However, he was later corrected by, I believe, Copernicus (Ca-per-ni-kus) who stated the Sun was in the center of the universe and that the planets, including Earth, revolved around it.

Why is Africa missing from the map of Ptolemy?
Africa was not missing from Ptolemy's map; it was just depicted inaccurately due to limitations in geographical knowledge at the time. Ptolemy's map of Africa showed it as much smaller and further to the south than it actually is. Misinterpretation of ancient texts and lack of exploration of the continent contributed to this error.
Why couldn't Einstein accept that the universe was expanding?
Its not that he couldn't, he eventually did and declared his "cosmological constant" the biggest mistake in his life.The situation was when Einstein developed General Relativity the prevailing cosmological theory was the Steady State Theory, that the universe was static. However General Relativity predicted that the universe could NOT be static: it must be either expanding or contracting. To correct for this apparent "error" and conform to the prevailing theory, Einstein added an arbitrary fudge factor that he called the "cosmological constant" that could be tweaked as needed to keep the General Relativity predictions in accordance with the Steady State Theory.When it was clearly shown that Hubble's data was right and the universe was expanding, he willingly deleted the "cosmological constant" from Relativity.
What is structure of maem?
"MAEM" is likely referring to the MEEG algorithm Error Message Format (MAEM). It is a data structure used in error reporting for algorithm-related error messages in the MEEG algorithm. The structure of MAEM typically consists of error codes, descriptions, and other relevant information to help users identify and troubleshoot issues with the algorithm.

What is a sentence with the word system?
There is a system error.We need to follow the system.The robot went haywire. "Error! Warning! Error! System error! Warning! Must reboot the universe!"The system the company uses is outdated and clunky.
How do you know whether a structure is an artifact or a real structure?
Observers use several tools to image the structure at the same time or image it with the same tool at several locations and times. Complementary tools can clear sýstematic error and peer replication can clear observer error.
What is a mistake by scientists?
Science itself a the painstaking extrapolation of the rules governing our universe by repeated trial and error. Every scientific discovery has been made by recording mistakes and pinpointing successes.AnswerTwo significant mistakes or errors of the twentieeth century both involve cosmology and the creation of the universe. Einstein himself recognised his great error in inventing the 'cosmological constant' - a factor that enabled light to travel in a medium called 'ether' although we now know that the ether does not exist.Secondly Sir Fred Hoyle insisted that his theory of the 'steady sttate' was correct. This suggested that the universe had always been in existence and always will. However, despite many scientists agreeing and thus insisting that a creation moment as decribed in Genesis actually happened, the theory was disproved.Wilson and Penzias discovered background radiation from what was called 'the Big Bang' thus proving categorically that a creation moment had happened. The steady state theory was shelved and Hoyle discredited.

What is error theory?
Error theory is a philosophical position in ethics that asserts moral statements are systematically false because they presuppose the existence of objective moral values, which do not exist. Proponents, like J.L. Mackie, argue that while people may express moral beliefs, these beliefs are based on misconceptions about morality's objective nature. Essentially, error theory maintains that moral discourse is flawed, as it relies on the assumption that there are moral truths when, according to the theory, there are none. This view contrasts with moral realism, which holds that there are indeed objective moral facts.
