The Ptolemaic theory (geocentric) put forth by Claudius Ptolemy (100-170 AD) was based partly on the work of Aristotle. It was replaced by the Copernican theory (heliocentric) beginning around 1400 AD.
Claudius Ptolemy's (wrong) theory with the Earth at the center of the universe lasted for more than 1000 years
Exactly the same, there was no big bang!! That theory has been proven wrong.
Everyone who's ever had a theory has been wrong in some way; it's just we don't know if the current one is wrong yet. This is called the Scientific Method.
No, they can be proven wrong. For instance, one theory long ago stated that the Earth was the center of the Solar System, and the Sun and Planets went around us. This theory was proven wrong by Copernicus. Until the 20th Century, it was 'Theorized' that the Universe was in a "Static" condition. Then it was proven that it was expanding (Edwin Hubbel gets that credit). So nothing is forever, perhaps even the Universe?
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.
Lots of people have wrong theories about the Universe.
It can change if it is proven wrong, or if a new theory is proven more likely to be true.
Ptolemy's geocentric model was used for over 1500 years.
Evolution, Atomic Theory
a law is something that is true and a theory is an opinion or thought that can be proven wrong.
theory
Nope, educated assumptions are more of a theoretical answer to a question, since theory cannot be proven wrong given the conditions put forth before the theory is stated, same with the educated assumption, what can be proven wrong is the conditions given prior to the assumption
