The Ptolemaic theory of the planets was believed to be right for 1400 years until Copernicus suggested that the Sun might be at the centre and not the Earth.

Although Copernicus's theory was not correct, is was soon replaced by Kepler's theory which has been supported by further scientific discoveries throughout the 400 years since it was published.

What year did the earth expand in the big bang theory?

It is the Universe that expanded, not specifically the Earth. Earth was formed much later than the Big Bang.

Is there a loophole in big bang theory?

It is important to first realize that the big bang theory is a theory; it is not a physical law on its own for which there might be loopholes. However, I think (correct me if I am wrong though), that you are referring to the idea that the big bang theory states that the Universe started with a bang which just came into being out of nothing. This is not entirely correct, the big bang theory does not implicitly say that the Universe came into being at some point; it only says that in the distant past the Universe was very small and that it has been expanding ever since. This statement is well verified by observations and measurements. It does not claim or explain how the Universe came into being. It might sound reasonable that the Universe somehow came into being as a point, and it would fit with the above statements, but the creation of the Universe itself is not yet something that science can say much about. There are models, such as string theory, that sometimes have things to say about this, but they are far from testable at this stage. So, yes, it is possible that something else happened before the Universe became tiny and started to expand, and it wouldn't contradict with the big bang theory at all.


Which explosion caused the birth of Universe?

Some scientsists belivs that there was an explosion called the 'big bang' (Big Bang theory), that started it all off. If this was the case though, there probably wouldn't have been a bang though in the void of nothingness.


Why was Brahe's work helpful even though his theory of the universe was incorrect?

Tycho Brahe's meticulous observations of the movements of planets and stars formed the basis for Kepler's laws of planetary motion, which were crucial for the development of modern astronomy. While Brahe's geocentric model of the universe was incorrect, his data paved the way for a better understanding of the cosmos.

Whose theory of the universe was held as law for thousands of years even though the theory was eventually falsified?

I think you mean 'proved false'. To falsify means to deliberately deceive, as in 'falsifying a passport'. The theory is associated with Ptolemy.

Whose theory of the universe was law for thousands of years even though it was wrong?

could you re-phrase that? do you mean who came up with the initial theory of the universe and it's evolution? if so, to claim it was/is wrong is very relative. no matter how you look at it the universe is almost all theoretical Physics.


Whos theory of the universe was held as law for thousands of years even though he was wrong?

Aristotle's theory of the universe, which believed in a geocentric model with Earth as the center of the universe, was held as law for thousands of years despite being incorrect. His ideas were widely accepted and influential in shaping Western thought until the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus and later supported by Galileo challenged this view.
