The atomic theory of Democritus was not widely accepted during his lifetime. The dominant Greek philosopher of the era, Aristotle, opposed all ideas concerning atomic theory, refusing to believe that anything such as an atom could even exist.

What did Aristotle discover about the atom?

He thought that the atom was a creature that lived in the waters on Mars. He then thought to himself "How could thy creature get down to earth? It must've traveled through time and landed here!" He then got the idea of inventing a restuarant called Ruby Tuesdays to repel all the invaders and save the town. It is also believed that he proposed the thoery that an atom is concieved when two stars get it on and cause a supernova.


Who discoverd the big bang thoery?

Georges Lemaître seems to get credit for this proposal in 1927; by 1928 Edwin Hubble's observation that redshift increases with distance (Hubble's Law) seemed the first scientific evidence that the universe was expanding in all directions and thus, at some time in the past, observable matter must have originated from a single point in a cosmic-scale explosion.


What was gaileo's mechanistic concept of the universe?

Galileo's support for the heliocentric theory (note that this is Copernicus's theory, not Galileo's) got him into trouble with the Roman Catholic Church. In 1633 the Inquisition convicted him of heresy and forced him to recant (publicly withdraw) his support of Copernicus. They sentenced him to life imprisonment, but because of his advanced age allowed him serve his term under house arrest at his villa in Arcetri outside of Florence.AddendumHeliocentrism is the theory that the Sun is at the center of the Solar System as opposed to geocentrism, the Church supported theory which put the Earth at the center of the Solar System. Gravitation(improved)Galileo also added the study of Gravitation of twenty objects. One set of ten were the very light things and the other ten were the heavy pair. The people thought that the heavy pair would fall first but instead they fell at the same time!!! So this is the proof or that the gravity is even.


What are two observations that Galileo made through his telescope that supported the heliocentric model?

In 1610, Galileo used the telescope to discover four moons revolving around Jupiter.The motion of these moons proved that not everything in the sky revolves around Earth.Galileo's observation of Venus also supported the heliocentric system. Galileo knew that Venus is always seen near the sun. He discovered that Venus goes through a series of phases similar to those of Earth's moon.
