It means literally, "Sun centred", and it is true for our Solar System and others like it: a set of planets orbiting a star. So it IS accepted on that scale!
It is not true for the Universe as a whole, but a galaxy has some central mass holding it together, and the candidate for that is huge 'black hole'.
What else can I help you with?
When would scientists accept a theory?
probably when you can prove it
What is the best scientific discovery?
There is no obvious way to determine which scientific discovery is the best, however, I personally would nominate the heliocentric theory of astronomy.
What does a scientific theory mean?
That would depend on the scientific theory in question.
What are the there listed points of the cell theory?
The three listed points of the cell theory would be that cells are the building blocks of life, all life is composed of cells, and all cells come from preexisting cells. These were found by different people.
What are some examples of incentive theory?
Since the incentive theory is the people are motivated to do things because of external rewards. For example I work the dreadful job of a referee the only reason I am working for is the money they pay me. The money would be the external reward.
Why did some people oppose the heliocentric theory of the universe?
Most of these people were religious, and because the scriptures supposedly said that the Earth was in the center of the universe (geocentric), they had to stand firm with their beliefs. Only scientists and astronomers believed in the heliocentric theory, and some of them would be excommunicated or almost executed if they weren't geocentric.
What would happen to people who didnt follow heliocentric theory?
People who didn't follow the heliocentric theory, like those who supported geocentrism, could face criticism from the scientific community and could be seen as holding outdated beliefs. They may also miss out on understanding and contributing to modern astronomical advancements.
What effect would the scientific method have on the acceptance of the geocentric theory?
The scientific method would lead to the rejection of the geocentric theory because through observation, experimentation, and data analysis, scientists would have found evidence supporting the heliocentric model of the solar system proposed by Copernicus. The geocentric theory would be discarded in favor of the more accurate and supported heliocentric model.
When would scientists accept a theory?

Why did some people accept Nicolaus Copernicus' theory?
Nicholas Copernicus was afraid that no one would accept his theory so he did not release his book until the year of his death. Many say that he died with his book in his hands on his death bed.

There is no obvious way to determine which scientific discovery is the best, however, I personally would nominate the heliocentric theory of astronomy.
Why did Catholic Church oppose Galileo heliocentric?
They did not oppose the theory, known as the heliocentric theory, but they told him he could not promote it as the absolute truth. As long as he taught it as a theory that would be OK.But he said he was cleverer than all the cardinals and continued to promote the theory as the truth by publishing a book that portrayed the Pope as a simpleton, so he was tried for heresy. By this time he was old and tired and when it was shown in court that the theory had no proof, he recanted and said he had been wrong all along.At least a century later science had advanced to the point where it was realised that the Sun is at the centre, so the heliocentric theory was right all along. But that does not make Galielo right, because scientific knowledge during his lifetime did not support the theory.
When did Catholic Church accept Heliocentric theory?
Catholic Answer:The heliocentric theory has a long and involved history with the church. It has been covered extensively in the Catholic encyclopedia. The link below will take you to the entire discussion. This is from the website Catholic Answers in its article on Galileo:Nicolaus Copernicus dedicated his most famous work,On the Revolution of the Celestial Orbs, in which he gave an excellent account of heliocentricity, to Pope Paul III. Copernicus entrusted this work to Andreas Osiander, a Lutheran clergyman who knew that Protestant reaction to it would be negative, since Martin Luther seemed to have condemned the new theory, and, as a result, the book would be condemned. Osiander wrote a preface to the book, in which heliocentrism was presented only as a theory that would account for the movements of the planets more simply than geocentrism did—something Copernicus did not intend.Ten years prior to Galileo, Johannes Keplerpublished a heliocentric work that expanded on Copernicus’ work. As a result, Kepler also found opposition among his fellow Protestants for his heliocentric views and found a welcome reception among some Jesuits who were known for their scientific achievements
Why did Nicolaus Copernicus die?
Nicolaus died of a stroke. It was lucky he died at that time because if he had lived he would have been accused of heresy for putting the heliocentric theory in place and burned to death as a punishment. he died while holding a book publishing his heliocentric theory. The doctors were very sad because they could not save him and he was born in 1999
Was the heliocentric theory considered heresy by the Catholic Church?
At the time it was first proposed by Galileo, yes the heliocentric theory was considered heresy by the Catholic church because it contradicted several statements in the Old Testament as well as undermined the implicit assumption that the Earth was the center of the universe.However, as scientific evidence has supported the heliocentric theory, the Catholic church has stopped calling it heresy and now accepts it as truth..Catholic AnswerNo, the Heliocentric theory, first published in "modern" times by Copernicus, a Catholic, and dedicated to Pope Paul III was subsequently published, erroneously, by a Lutheran, as a "theory" since he knew that Martin Luther and the other protestants would never accept it, but the Church looked very favorably upon it. There were some in the Church who resisted the idea as it appeared to disagree with Sacred Scripture. So when Galileo later took up heliocentric theory, he ran into trouble with various individuals in the Church who told him he could not publish the "theory" without proof - which he did not provide. Amazingly, Galileo was a good friend of the Pope at the time, and, even though the Pope tried to help him, he went his own way, broke his word, and published without proof anyway - for which he got into trouble. However, heliocentrism was never condemned as heresy.

4 Imagine that you are a scientist living at the time that Wagner proposed his theory What might you have thought of his theory What biases might you have had that would influence your acceptance of t?
Just accept his theory.
