The theory of heliocentrism, which states that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun, was proposed by the ancient Greek astronomer Aristarchus of Samos. However, it was popularized and further developed by Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century.

Who first introduced the idea that the Sun is the center of the universe?

Copernicus was the first person to show that the assumption of a helio-centric solar system made calculations of planetary orbits far simpler to understand, and held to the idea for decades. Aristarchus did propose our Sun as the center, but his ideas were roundly rejected by other Greeks. A few Arab astronomers toyed with the idea, but each ended up abandoning helio-centrism.

Helio Phones on Verizon?

The answer is Yes and No. The phones use CDMA technology (as opposed to AT&T and T-Mobile which use GSM), so in THEORY you would be able to activate a Helio device on the Verizon Network. All Helio devices natively use the Sprint Network for primary transit, and will resort to using Verizon's network when roaming. So, for your bottom line answer: No. You cannot use a Helio device with Verizon Wireless... (Yet. Hopefully that will change soon.)
