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.

Galileo challenged Aristotle's belief that heavier objects fell faster than lighter ones.
Aristotle (384-322 BC), Copernicus (1473-1543), Galileo (1564-1642), Newton (1642-1727), Einstein (1879-1955)

What causes things to fall at different rates here on earth is air resistance.

Galileo emphasized the concept of inertia, stating that an object will remain in its state of motion unless acted upon by an external force. This was in contrast to Aristotle's view that objects naturally come to rest due to their inherent tendency to seek their "natural place."
Aristotle did not discover the moons of Jupiter or mountains on the moon. The discovery of Jupiter's moons was made by Galileo Galilei in 1610. Mountains on the moon were observed by Galileo as well, using his telescope in the early 17th century. Aristotle lived in ancient Greece in the 4th century BC and did not have access to the technology needed for these astronomical observations.
His telescope
No, Aristotle did

they Both researched that the earth was round

Galileo got it right. But he had built a telescope so he had an advantage.
aristotle, copernicus, galileo
Galileo had created that theory and had questioned Aristotle
They all died a long time ago
