Aristotle's dynamic motion theory was proven wrong by a man named Galileo. He tested Aristotle's theory by dropping a heavy object and a lighter object at the same time. The experiment proved Aristotle wrong because the result was that the two objects were falling at the same rate (speed).
The Aristotle helps us understand the philosophy and history of biology by the theory that it advances.
Aristotle discovered gravitational potential theory.
Aristotle stated that a falling object accelerated in accordance with its mass, again Aristotle was provedwrong.
Eratosthenes proved the world is flat theory wrong
because they were proved wrong by other scientists.
Aristotle
tragedy
His theory like the Aristotelean epicycles theory assumed motions were based on circles. Thus even though his theory was simpler than Aristotle's his predictions did not agree as well with measurement. It was not until Kepler changed the circles to ellipses that Copernicus's theory gave predictions that agreed better with measurement than Aristotle's theory did that it was finally easy to accept the Copernican sun centered system.
He had a theory that the earth revolved around the sun. Hundreds of years later, scientists proved he was right. Back then, everybody believed Aristotle and they thought the earth was at the center of the universe and everything revolved around it. Galileo kind of based his theory on that too, but it was Copernicus who thought of it.
o.o?
It disproved Aristotle's four-element theory of matter.
