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.Nickolaus Copernicus's theory was that we had a heliocentric cosmology or a sun centered solar system.
He thought that the earth wasn't the only planet and it moved around the sun
Heliocentric Theory, the theory that the sun is the center of the Universe and everything else goes around it (not completely true but was a good step to improvement).
Copernicus' thoery was the sun was in the middle of the solar system.
The establishment theory was the Geocentric Universe.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of mechanistic structure
Copernicus discussed the concept of a heliocentric universe in his written work.
The one where the universe is expanding and accelerating.
Deists believed that God did create the Universe, but that afterwards he left it to its own devices and did not interfere in any way in human or other affairs anymore. The 'rational' workings of the Universe were seen as the proof that no further Divine interference was needed.
At present, there is no way to determine where the "center" of the universe is, or even if the concept of "center" makes sense when applied to the universe.
when the concept was pleasing to the mind
Taking a mechanistic approach to solving a problem involves seeing an organization as a machine and all its members as working parts of the machine. A mechanistic approach can be used when dealing with organizations, economies, and civilizations.
