What describes the basis on which new scientific ideas are accepted or rejected?

New scientific ideas are typically accepted or rejected based on evidence, experimental results, and how well they align with existing theories and principles. Ideas that can be tested, replicated, and provide new insights into the natural world are more likely to be accepted. Peer review by other experts in the field also plays a crucial role in evaluating the validity and significance of new scientific ideas.


In science what kind of ideas are generally accepted?

In science, ideas that are tested through repeated experiments and observations, and are supported by evidence and data, are generally accepted. These ideas are subject to peer review and can be replicated by other scientists.


Why do you think people accepted the geocentric model of the solar system for so long?

People accepted the geocentric model of the solar system for so long primarily due to its alignment with everyday observations, where the Sun, Moon, and stars appeared to revolve around a stationary Earth. Additionally, the model was supported by influential thinkers like Aristotle and Ptolemy, whose ideas dominated scientific thought for centuries. The lack of advanced observational technology and the strong ties between science and religion further reinforced this worldview, making it difficult to challenge established beliefs.


When were Galileo's ideas accepted?

Yes. The geocentric system was long accepted. Briefly the geocentric system used the earth as the center of the universe, thus the sun and planets revolved around the earth as center of the universe. The geocentric system had religious implications of the earth as the seat of "God". The heliocentric system replaced the geocentric system in Copernicus' time, with the sun as the center. This challenged the religious concepts. The "geocentric" system is still accepted. Locating heavenly bodies still use the RA (Right Ascension) system which is geocentric. Leaving out the question of where "God" lives, the astronomical question is simplicity of astronomy calculations..


Whose ideas are not directly reflected in your modern understanding of the universe?

Ancient Greek philosophers like Aristarchus of Samos, who proposed a heliocentric model of the solar system, and Anaximander, who suggested that the Earth floats unsupported in space, had ideas that were ahead of their time and not directly reflected in our modern understanding of the universe until much later.
