Some Greeks about 2500 years ago.
Ignored until about 1500 (Copernicus, Galileo, Americus [he was making globes before Columbus]).
Galileo Galilei.
Galileo, I think.
Nicolaus Copernicus.
Nicolaus Copernicus proposed the idea that the Earth revolved around the Sun in his book "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" published in 1543. This heliocentric model of the solar system challenged the prevailing geocentric view of the time.
Yes because he went against the church. The church believed everything revolved around the Earth, but Galileo said everything revolved around the sun.
Almost all scientists and mathematicians until the Renaissance.
It said that the Earth was in the center and the Sun, Moon, and other planets revolved around it. But this theory was wrong.
He said the world orbited the sun, people didnt like this because they believed everything revolved around us, earth!
I think it would depend on who you asked. A serf might say life revolved about his lord. The lord might say life revolved around the king. The king might have said live revolved around the pope. And a pope might have said life properly revolved around the congregation, which was mostly made up of serfs.
The main reason was religious teaching. Christian teaching said that since Christ came to Earth, it must be the center of the universe and all revolved around the Earth. It took a long time to come to an agreement about this idea.
The belief that the Earth revolves around the Sun was proposed by the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus in the early 16th century. However, it was the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei who faced the Inquisition for supporting this heliocentric model in the 17th century.
Nicolaus Copernicus was the astronomer who first proposed the heliocentric model of the solar system, where the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun. His work "On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres" laid the foundation for modern astronomy.
