Earth was the center 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.
The first scientist to dispute Ptolemy's geocentric model was Nicolaus Copernicus. In the early 16th century, Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model, placing the Sun at the center of the universe and suggesting that the Earth and other planets revolve around it. His work, particularly the publication of "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" in 1543, laid the groundwork for the Scientific Revolution and fundamentally changed our understanding of the cosmos.
Ptolemy's biggest discovery was his geocentric model of the universe, which believed that the Earth was at the center of the universe with planets and stars moving around it in circular orbits. This model dominated Western astronomy for over a thousand years.

The geocentric modelof the universe stated that the earth was at the centre of the universe.
Scientists such as Nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo Galilei developed ideas that contradicted Ptolemy's geocentric model of the universe. Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model with the sun at the center, while Galileo's observations through a telescope supported this idea, leading to the eventual acceptance of the heliocentric model.
That the Earth is a center of the Universe. The root of this model is already in Timaeus by Plato where Timaeus describes it.
