they went against the long accepted geocentric theory.
Brane theory is not a cosmological model but a theoretical framework in theoretical physics that suggests the existence of additional dimensions beyond the known four dimensions (three of space and one of time). It is not related to the geocentric or heliocentric nature of the solar system.
Aristotle was the first to develop a geocentric theory. But it is generally accepted that the Greek astronomer Ptolemy provided the most elaborated model of the geocentric view of the universe in which the Earth was the center. This idea lasted for centuries until the time of Copernicus.
The Greek philosopher Aristarchus of Samos is credited with first questioning the geocentric theory in the 3rd century BC. He proposed a heliocentric model in which the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun.
The geocentric theory, which placed Earth at the center of the universe, faced challenges from the wanderers (planets) because their movements did not align with the geocentric model. Observations of the planets' irregular paths in the sky led to the eventual development of the heliocentric model, where the Sun, not Earth, is at the center of the solar system.
A few celestial objects appear to have retrograde motion.
Aristotle's geocentric theory failed to match the expected predictions because it incorrectly placed Earth at the center of the universe, leading to inaccuracies in predicting the motions of celestial bodies. With the advancement of observational astronomy and the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus and later confirmed by Kepler, it became evident that Earth revolves around the Sun, not vice versa.

Variables are expected to be related to one another based on the assumptions and logical reasoning within a theory. The theory specifies the nature and direction of relationships between variables, guiding the researcher's predictions. These relationships can be tested through empirical research to evaluate the theory's validity.
