What else can I help you with?
Whose theory of the universe was held as law for a thousand 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.
Which of these is a theory that many scientists accept as an explanation for the origin of the universe?
the quantum theory
What friedmann universe theory?
chuck norris roundhouse liked a star and the universe was born
How does Eisenstein's theory of relativity support the Big Bang theory?
The Theory of Relativity was created by Einstein, not by Eisenstein. Comment: The most obvious thing is that Einstein's equations predicted that the Universe was not "static". So a "Big Bang", expanding Universe fits the theory.
What theory states that the universe began when all of its contents suddenly expand outward?
The Extreme Contraction Theory of Astrophysics. The answer is "The Big Bang Theory".
What was the name of the theory that suggest the sun is the center of the universe?
Galileo theory
What was Galileo's belief?
Galileo believed in the truth of the copernican theory, which stated that the sun was the center of the universe.
What is the name of Galileo's theory stating that the sun is the center of the universe?
It's called the heliocentric theory (helios is sun) but it was not a fully fledged theory until well after Galileo's time.
Which Scientists disaprove Ptolemys geosentric theory of the universe?
Galileo and Copernicus were two of the scientists to disprove Ptolemy's geocentric theory of the universe. The Ptolemaic theory stated that the center was earth.
Did Copernicus and Galileo believed that earth was at the center of the universe?
They believed in a heliocentric universe. This meaning that the earth was not the center of the universe, but that the sun was. However, many people , including the church, did not agree with this theory. Instead they believed in a geocentric universe. Plato and Aristotle believed in this theory.
Why did catholic church leaders oppose Galileo's sun centered model of the universe?
The Bible is written from an implicitly geocentric viewpoint, so if we take the Bible as the ultimate authority on everything, then it would be wrong to come to other conclusions such as the heliocentric theory, merely by observing the way the universe actually is. Incidentally, although Galileo did support the heliocentric theory, it was originally proposed by Copernicus. It isn't Galileo's model. Galileo did contribute to this theory with his astronomical observations, however.
Was the discovery accepting by the people of that time?
Galileo's most significant observation and discovery was that the universe (or now the solar system) was Sun-Centered. Originally, people accepted the Copernican theory that the universe was Earth-centered. For a few years Galileo had to defend his discover until 1616.
What was Galileo's contribution to the Big Bang Theory?
Galileo did not contribute to the Big Bang Theory directly as his work focused on astronomy, not cosmology. The Big Bang Theory was developed in the 20th century based on evidence from observations of the universe's expansion. Galileo's contributions to astronomy include improving the telescope and making important astronomical observations, such as the phases of Venus and the moons of Jupiter.
What is the difference between the big bang theory and the geocentric theory?
The "geocentric theory" refers to the discarded notion that the Earth is at the center of the universe. The Big Bang theory is the model that explains how the universe is basically homogeneous in all directions, and that there is no topological center or preferred place of observation in the universe.
What did Galileo believe about the universe?
His theory was the heliocentric theory, meaning the idea that the Sun is the center of the universe. He was proven wrong when it was discovered that the stars are basically other suns, but it was a step closer to the truth than the at the time supported geocentric theory.
When did Galileo Galilei make his theory about Galileo?
galileo galilei and galileo are the same person (that doesn't make sense.)
Why did Galileo's idea about the universe frighten the Catholic Church?
It didn't "frighten" the Church. The Church was upset because Galileo was insisting on a theory that he couldn't prove, at that time - the science hadn't been invented yet. The Church allowed him to publish his theory as a theory, but not to claim it was fact until it was proved. Galileo was a very stubborn man who believed he was right (actually, his theory was right, but he couldn't prove it) and he insisted on teaching it as fact, and he insisted on making fun of the pope who was both a patron and a personal friend - this didn't go over very well with the Church.
