Copernicus believed that the sun was the center of the solar system (maybe even the universe) and wrote a book about it, but was so afraid of the Catholic Church that he would not allow it to be published until he was near death.
Galileo also believed the sun was the center of the solar system, and proved that everything did not revolve about the earth by observing the moons of Jupiter (still referred to as Galilean moons) and seeing that they revolved around Jupiter. He wrote a book on his discoveries and was threatened by the Catholic Church and was forced to recant his beliefs. He was placed under 'house arrest' by the Church for the last 9 years of his life. In 1969 the Catholic Church issued an apology to Galileo.
Kepler took many years observations of Tycho Brahe and showed that the planets did not revolve about the Sun in circles, but in ellipses. He also developed 2 other laws about the planets changing speed as the distance from the sun changed as they moved in their elliptical orbit, and about equal areas swept by a line from the planet to the sun in equal time intervals.
Newton used mathematics and his law of universal gravitation to prove Kepler's Laws of Planetary motion were correct.
Aristotle (384-322 BC), Copernicus (1473-1543), Galileo (1564-1642), Newton (1642-1727), Einstein (1879-1955)
Both Aristotle and Galileo triggered a Paradigm Shift. Galileo mainly influenced the world of 'scientists'. To be honest a universe with or without earth as centre doesn't matter that much Probably Newton made more difference, only would there have been a 'Newton' without Galilei But also Newton mainly influenced the world of 'scientists'. Aristotle cause a Major Paradigm shift in The Western World. A reality Redesign. One that changed the view about reality from a holistic view (The One, The Fire, The All, ..) in a creationist view. Physical common sense reality + supreme God. Excuse for hunting 'barbarians', 'devils', 'witches', 'terrorists'
Aristotle's dynamic motion theory was proven wrong by a man named Galileo. He tested Aristotle's theory by dropping a heavy object and a lighter object at the same time. The experiment proved Aristotle wrong because the result was that the two objects were falling at the same rate (speed).
Galileo challenged Aristotle's belief that heavier objects fell faster than lighter ones.
I think that Galileo died during the same year Newton was born. Galileo Also Discovered Intertia Leading Isaac Newton To Make The First Law Of Motion Using What Galileo Had Discovered Hope this helped :)

Aristotle came first, followed by Ptolemy, then Copernicus and Galileo. Other important players in the story after them were Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler and Isaac Newton.

His telescope
nothing because Galileo died before newton was born
No, Aristotle did

Galileo
no. sir isaac newton,while in school, used to read the works of philosophers and thinkers such as Kepler,Galileo and Copernicus . he was a firm believer of the sun-centered model of the universe.
Aristotle and Galileo Galilie
