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.
Claudius Ptolemy's (wrong) theory with the Earth at the center of the universe lasted for more than 1000 years
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.
Ptolemy's geocentric model was used for over 1500 years.
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.

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.
