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.
Ptolemy's geocentric model was used for over 1500 years.
Planet Earth was held to be the centre of the Universe and everything else in the sky was held to revolve around Earth.
Claudius Ptolemy
Aristotle's theory of the universe, which believed in a geocentric model with Earth as the center of the universe, was held as law for thousands of years despite being incorrect. His ideas were widely accepted and influential in shaping Western thought until the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus and later supported by Galileo challenged this view.
Aristotle, the wrong-est man ever to have live on the Earth.
Lots of people have wrong theories about the Universe.
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.
