When was accepted the theory of sun centered solar system?

It’s hard for me to believe that astrologist observing the aster for thousands of years never discovered that theory.

When was accepted the theory of sun centered solar system?
In ancient Greece it was already accepted. Probably much earlier in Egypt and or in the Persian area. Maybe even 20 000,30 000, 40 0000 + years earlier. But, since there was no paper or standardized language until recently in our history. It was not recorded. From what I've read. Either,Aristarchus in Greece already theorized that the Earth revolves around the Sun. You're asking when the Heliocentric hypothesis was accepted. It's still not accepted by some today. Copernicus never made this discovery himself. He just learned about it when he went to study in Italy. He found a text in a library. It was a book form Ancient Greek. Then, he just re wrote it to Latin. The Greeks got a lot of their knowledge from the Egyptians and vice versa.
Reply:Copernicus theorized this, as did Galileo-----16th century, I believe.
Reply:From a religious perspective Galileo proposed this radical idea in the mid 1600's and was persecuted for it by the Catholic inquisition. This led to his death. In 1992 Pope John Paul II recognized that indeed Galileos hypothesis were recognizable and proven theory and that the Catholic Church accepted them. It only took the Catholic Church 350 years to acknowledge this theory that the Earth was not the center of the solar system.
Reply:In 1543, Nicolaus Copernicus dedicated his book "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" to Pope Paul III in the hope that the Catholic Church would accept the concept of the Earth and the (other) planets revolving about the Sun.





Many Christian theologians found heliocentrism heretical because it apparently contradicted Christian Scripture in Psalms 93:1; 96:10; 104:5, 1Chronicles 16:30 and Ecclesiastes 1:4,5.





In 1633, the Catholic Church threatened Galileo Galilei with excommunication unless he recanted heliocentrism, which he did to avoid possible execution.





In 1741, the Catholic Church determined that heliocentrism was not specifically heretical. In 1758, the Catholic Church permitted the teaching of heliocentrism along with geocentrism as a "scientific theories". In 1992, Pope John Paul II proclaimed that the handling of Galileo's case had been “overzealous.”





The Catholic Church still permits the teaching of both heliocentrism and geocentrism as a "scientific theories". Some Jewish, Christian and Muslim religious fundamentalists still interpret their scripture as stating that the Earth is the physical center of the universe. Several modern secular philosophers, including Friedrich Nietzsche, have defended geocentrism.
Reply:Theory? I think you can safely assume that it has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, like Evolution.
Reply:Galileo didn't propose the idea, Copernicus did. Galileo basically proved that at least one planet, Venus, revolved around the sun.

Reply:Copernicus was imprisoned for hearsay....stating that we were not earth-centered....somewhere in the 1500's AD.
Reply:It wasn't until the invention of the telescope before the true nature of the universe was revealed by astronomer Galileo Galilei. The earth centered theory was perpetuated by the Roman Catholic church. They actually excommunicated Galileo for his theory and he was discredited.
Reply:Copernicus was the first in *modern* times to really promote it, but it wasn't until after Galileo that the idea was generally accepted. But there were some ancient greek guys (aristarchus maybe, I'm not sure) who also thought that Earth went around the Sun. They just didn't get as much air-time as Aristotle did. Copernicus got the idea from the writings of one of those ancient greek guys. People in other cultures might have come up with the idea, too, I'm not sure.
