Copernicus and the trial of Galileo

Heliocentrism is the theory of the Sun being at the center of the universe. This idea led to a huge dispute. Although the Earth seems to be in the middle of the universe and it looks like everything revolves around it, its not true. This theory has been discussed in many languages. In ancient India, Sage Yajnavalkya, noticed that the Sun was bigger then the Earth. He influenced the start of Heliocentrism. In ancient Greece, Aristarchus of Samos, calculated the distance of the Sun and the moon concluding that the Sun was at least 6 or 7 times bigger then the Earth. Along with these two men are many more that proved that heliocentrism.
Geocentric is the oppostie of heliocentrism, its the theory that the Earth is at the center of the universe. This was a wrong theory. This was an idea held in ancient Greek and ancient China. Ancient thinkers believed this theory because they saw that the Earth felt still and that the Sun, stars and moon moved around. The Sun, stars and moon moving around in the same routine made the very wrong theory seem very right. Even though, we learn that the Sun is definitely at the center of the universe people still do believe that the Earth is the universe's center. However, this is usually involving religious beliefs.
The theory that came first was the heliocentrism. Aristotle was one of the many who made the theory that Earth was at the middle of the universe but others like Galileo proved him wrong. By using the scientific method. Geocentrism was the theory that came out of the scientific revolution. Many used the scientific method to prove geocentrism.
Galileo was put on trial because of his disbeliefs about the earth being the center of the universe. Galileo and the church disagreed in the idea about where the earth was located. The Chruch thought that earth was at the center of the universe like many others did. However, Galileo tried to prove that was wrong by using the scientific method. This made the Church really angry leading Galileo into house arrest. The Church put him on trial so that he could admit he was wrong and that way no one would get new ideas. At the end, Galileo said that he was wrong about his beliefs. Even though, he didnt say we all knew that it was for the fear of being excommunicated.
