The first scientist to say the earth is not the centre of the whole universe was Nicolaus Copernicus early in the sixteenth century.
Copernicus
Aristotle
Ptolemy.
The Earth-centered or "geo-centric" model.
Ptolemy said the Earth is the center of the universe, everything revolves around it once a day. Copernicus said the Sun is the center of our galaxy, and there are other galaxies that just wander around the universe.
he said the earth was the center of the universe and everything revolves around it
Copernicus and Galileo were two key figures in the history of science who argued that the Earth is not the center of the universe, but rather orbits around the Sun. This heliocentric model challenged the long-held belief in geocentrism, where Earth was considered the center of the universe.
No, that was what the scriptures said, but Copernicus's model, also promoted by Galileo, had the Sun at the centre instead.
He said that sun was the center of the universe and that the earth and all the other planets orbit around it.
Pretty sure it was Ptolemy.
Ptolemy.
he thought it went around in a line and back to the earth...
