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.

Whose theory of the universe was held as a law for thousands of years even though he was wrong?
Ptolemy's geocentric model was used for over 1500 years.
Whose theory of the universe was held as law for thousands of years even though the theory was eventually falsified?
I think you mean 'proved false'. To falsify means to deliberately deceive, as in 'falsifying a passport'. The theory is associated with Ptolemy.
Whose theory of the universe was law for thousands of years even though it was wrong?
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.
Whose theory of the universe was held for thousand of year but was wrong?
Claudius Ptolemy's (wrong) theory with the Earth at the center of the universe lasted for more than 1000 years
Whose theory of the universe was held as law for thousands of years even though the theory was falsified?
The Ptolemaic theory of the planets was believed to be right for 1400 years until Copernicus suggested that the Sun might be at the centre and not the Earth. Although Copernicus's theory was not correct, is was soon replaced by Kepler's theory which has been supported by further scientific discoveries throughout the 400 years since it was published.

Whose theory was a law for thousands of years even though he was wrong?
A theory becomes a law when it is tested and found to be true for the way things happen. One is the Newtonian physics theory, which is mostly correct but has been superseded by relativistic physics. The difference comes when measurements are taken at a fraction of the speed of light. Another example is the belief that the earth is flat.
Whose theory was wrong about the universe?
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.
Whose theory of the universe was proven wrong?
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.
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.
How would you prove that a certain theory is not acceptable?
By performing experiments whose goal is to prove that such theory is a mistaken theory.
Whose theory stated that a nations power is measured by its gold reserves?
