How was Aristotle's dynamic motion theory proven wrong?
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).
How did Galileo answer the argument that the heliocentric theory of the solar system was against the teaching's of the church?
He apologized and said he was wrong apex
What makes Galileo popular?
Galileo was not popular with the Catholic Church during his lifetime, as he proved that the Earth revolves around the sun (Aristotelian Geocentric), contrary to the Church's teachings that the sun and all the other planets orbit around the Earth (heliocentrism). However, today Galileo was credited with his many contributions to physics. He was also one of the first people to prove that many of Aristotle's teachers were wrong, and showed great courage in proposing this idea. Galileo was one of the most famous physicists in history, along with Sir Issac Newton and Albert Einstein.
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.
Who developed a stronger telescope and was able to prove that Ptolemy's theories about the moon were wrong?
Galileo Galilei constructed telescopes to conduct his observations. He also disproved the Ptolemaic model.

Who theory of the universe was held for law for thousands of years even though he was wrong?
Aristotle if thats how you spell it :)
Was Galileo's therory that the earth moved around the sun supported by the Roman Catholic Church?
No, it contradicted the teaching of the Catholic Church at the time. They said it was all right for Galileo to teach the theory as a theory but not to say that the Sun actually is at the centre unless he could prove it.He couldn't, but 100-150 years after his death scientific knowledge had advanced enough to say the Sun is at the centre. During Galileo's lifetime he was wrong to support the 'theory', it was only guesswork and there just wasn't enough evidence for it until a long time afterwards.

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.

Does relativity prove Zeno's paradoxes wrong?
No, that was done by Aristotle. Diogenes also proved it wrong simply by out-racing a tortoise. A final, formalized refutation was done by mathematicians in the late 1800s.
