Whos theory of the universe was held as law for thousands of years even though he was wrong?
Aristotle's theory of the universe, which believed in a geocentric model with Earth as the center of the universe, was held as law for thousands of years despite being incorrect. His ideas were widely accepted and influential in shaping Western thought until the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus and later supported by Galileo challenged this view.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Is the geocentric theory real?
Depends on what you mean by a theory being real. As a theory it is real. People had thought about it and believed in it. But as a description of reality, it is wrong. The Geocentric theory puts the Earth in the middle, with the Sun and all planets orbiting around the Earth. By now, we're pretty darn sure that's not how it is. The Sun is in the middle, with the planets orbiting around the Sun.
What was greek astronomer Aristotle's theory?
Aristotle believed that the Earth was stationary at the center of the universe and that the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars all revolved around it in circular orbits. This geocentric model dominated Western thought for centuries until the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus gained acceptance.
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.
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 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 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.
