The idea of placing the Earth at the center of the universe is primarily attributed to the ancient Greek philosopher Claudius Ptolemy. His geocentric model, developed in the 2nd century AD, depicted the Earth as the immovable center around which the sun, moon, planets, and stars revolved. This view dominated Western astronomical thought until the Copernican revolution in the 16th century, which proposed a heliocentric model with the sun at the center.
