Whose theory of the universe was held as law for thousands of years even though that person was wrong?
The geocentric model, also known as the Ptolemaic system, held for over a thousand years. It was standardized by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy. Based on his model, the Earth was at the center of the universe and the sun and planets revolved around it. It was the accepted model up until the 1500's when Copernicus put forth is heliocentric model, one that placed the sun at the center and the planets in orbit or it.
What was greek astronomer Aristotle's theory?
Aristotle divided the Universe into two spheres: one above the Moon and the second under it. This enabled him to explain why there is no problem to move objects on the ground and in the air whereas the stars are stable.
How was the copernican theory proven correct?
Bruno did a pretty good job of it, and was burned at the stake for his troubles. Galileo's observations of the solar system were very thorough, and he had a decent telescope with which to record his findings. The evidence Galileo gathered was quite compelling.
Who thought that the earth was the centre of the universe and that the planets had circular orbits?
Ptolemy, but he was wrong the sun is in the center and planets have elliptical orbits.
How did Galileo answer the arguments that the heliocentric theory of the solar system was against the teaching of the church?
He apologized and said he was wrong apex

Whose theory of universe was held as law for thousands of years even though it was wrong?
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.
