The question seems poorly phrased, but perhaps you are referring to Aristotle.
Aristotle had opinions about EVERYTHING, widely voiced his opinions, and was entirely wrong in almost every particular. In fact, Aristotle may be the wrong-est man to ever live. Millions of needless early deaths were caused by his laughably incorrect medical teachings, which stulted the field of medicine for over 1500 years. His astronomy was wrong, his physics were idiotic, and his chemistry was below the level of "juvenile".

Plato's Theory of Astronomical Convulsion

Aristotle if thats how you spell it :)
Aristotle if thats how you spell it :)
Planet Earth was held to be the centre of the Universe and everything else in the sky was held to revolve around Earth.
Ptolemy's geocentric model was used for over 1500 years.
could you re-phrase that? do you mean who came up with the initial theory of the universe and it's evolution? if so, to claim it was/is wrong is very relative. no matter how you look at it the universe is almost all theoretical Physics.
I think you mean 'proved false'. To falsify means to deliberately deceive, as in 'falsifying a passport'. The theory is associated with Ptolemy.
The Ptolemaic theory of the planets lasted 1400 years, and it lasted so long because it was not very wrong. But when Galileo discovered all the phases of Venus, the theory's days were numbered. This did not happen until Galileo came along with his telescope to study the night sky.
Claudius Ptolemy
This is because he explained the sun's role in the universe!
