What did Aristotle discover about the atom?
Aristotle did not discover the atom. The concept of the atom was developed later by scientists like Democritus and John Dalton. Aristotle's views on matter focused on the elements of earth, air, fire, and water, rather than the atom as a fundamental unit of matter.
Who discoverd the big bang thoery?
The Big Bang theory was first proposed by Belgian priest and physicist Georges Lemaître in 1927. He suggested that the universe began as a single point and has been expanding ever since. Subsequent observations and discoveries have provided strong evidence supporting this theory.
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?
Galileo observed that Venus went through phases similar to the Moon, which supported the idea that Venus orbited the Sun and not the Earth. He also observed the moons of Jupiter, showing that not all celestial bodies orbited Earth, further supporting the heliocentric model.
