Who proved the pythagorean theorem?
Pythagoras, with alternative proofs from lots of others.
Has anyone developed on the Pythagorean theorem after Euclid?
Yes. There are hundreds of proofs of the theorem: some were brought together by ES Loomes in a book called The Pythagorean Proposition.
Did anyone oppose to the pythgreom theorm?
Although the Pythagorean theorem (sums of square of a right angled triangle) is called a theorem it has many mathematical proofs (including the recent proof of Fermats last theorem which tangentially also prooves Pythagorean theorem). In fact Pythagorean theorem is an 'axiom', a kind of 'super law'. It doesn't matter if anyone does oppose it, it is one of the few fundamental truths of the universe.
Why does the Pythagorean Theorem work in general?
For a number of proofs see: http://www.cut-the-knot.org/pythagoras/ Proof 6 seems to be the most straightforward.
What are the types of Pythagorean theorem?
The Pythagorean theorem is a2 + b2 = c2
