The notion that the Earth revolves around the Sun had been proposed as early as the 3rd century BC by Aristarchus of Samos but Aristarchus's heliocentrism (the theory that the Earth revolved around the Sun) attracted little attention until a scientist named Copernicus revived and elaborated it. Galileo further proved to the world that Earth revolved around the Sun, and gradually as people invented greater technologies, this theory became scientific law.
