What do Copernicus Galileo kapler and newton have in common?

Galileo did not have his own theory. He was a supporter of Copernicus's heliocentric theory and an opponent of the geocentric Ptolemaic theory. Eventually both theories were rejected in favour of Kepler's theory. But Kepler's theory uses the heliocentric idea from Copernicus's theory.


Who confirmed copernicus' heliocentric theory?

Aristarchus of Samos


Who is the great mathematician and physicist brought together some of the theories and discoveries of Copernicus Kepler and Galileo under a single theory of motion?

Isaac Newton is the great mathematician and physicist who brought together the theories and discoveries of Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo under his theory of motion, known as the laws of motion and universal gravitation. His work laid the foundation for classical mechanics and revolutionized our understanding of the physical world.


How was nicholas Copernicus research proven by Johannes Kepler?

Kepler's theory eventually replaced Copernicus's theory after Tycho Brahe's measurements enabled Kepler to realise that the planets move in elliptical orbits and not in the circles and epicycles of the older Ptolemaic and Copernican models. Copernicus was able to simplify the older model by placing the Sun at the centre instead of the Earth. Kepler in his new theory of 1609 retained Copernicus's idea of placing the Sun at the centre.
