The
science of studying universe is considered as one of the oldest science
among all nature science and it was called "Astronomy" for
studying stars and planets but it was mixed with philosophy which causes
the delay of its development as it was always untrue and not actual, the
real beginning was at Greece although the ancient Egyptians and Chinese
had done that before but they haven’t achieved any important things that
helped this science except something in the design of the pyramids and the
Egyptian temples.
This section includes the following topics:
What
were the Greek's thoughts?
the
Greece was more interested
and the philosopher (Anaxirander) began to put a certain system to the
universe depends on that the earth is the universe and all other planets
are made of fire rings , that was 570 BC then Anaxagoras came but he was
interested in the formation of the matter , one of his thoughts that the
sky was made of a rare , hot and dry substance while the Earth is made of
a dark cold matter.
And
the earth is a big circle and sun and other planets rotate around it, that
was in 445 BC. Then at 430 BC his friend “leucippus” developed this
theory then damocritus added that after planets there is huge space called
apieron, that means that democritus were the 1st one who
thought that universe is endless, but the 1st one who studied
the motion of the universe was Aristotle (340 BC), and he assured that the
universe is always constant, and static and it never extend except when it
is exerted by a force at its end, the motion of the universe ends, but the
scientist Aristarchus announce that the sun is the center and the earth
and planets rotate around it, he also measure the distance between the
earth and the sun, and although his measurements was false and
approximated, his measurements is considered developed with respect to the
age he lived (265 BC), but all scientists and philosophers neglected his
researches, after that “Claudws Ptolemy” announce that earth is a
sphere, and sun, moon, mercury, Venus, marth, Jupiter and Saturn, all
rotate around it and it’s the center of the universe, after that no one
dare to challenge the system of “Potlemy” inspite of the clear errors
and faults in it.
About
Copernicus theory:
until
1543 when “Nicholas Copernicus” contradicts the system of
“Potlemy” saying that the sun is the center of the universe, no one
believed "Copernicus" and he couldn’t offer anything but his
equations and theories which weren't understood, and he was burnt as a
result of his scientific faithfulness, in 1610 "Galileo" assured
Copernicus’s theories, but he was obliged to deny in order to save his
life, but it was the beginning of the end of the system of Plotemy.
