The theory of heliocentrism, which states that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun, was proposed by the ancient Greek astronomer Aristarchus of Samos. However, it was popularized and further developed by Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century.
That was the earliest version of atomic theory, proposed by the Greek philosopher Democritus.Democritus
Nicolaus Copernicus, the person who suggested that the sun was at the center of the solar system, was from Poland. His heliocentric model challenged the prevailing geocentric view of the universe.
The Ptolemaic universe theory was proposed by the ancient Greek astronomer Claudius Ptolemy in the 2nd century AD. He proposed a geocentric model of the universe with Earth at the center, and this theory dominated Western astronomy for over a thousand years.
Copernicus's concept of the solar system was influenced by the ancient Greek astronomer Aristarchus of Samos, who proposed a heliocentric model in which the Earth and other planets revolved around the Sun. Copernicus built upon this idea and formulated his own heliocentric model in the 16th century.

The earliest known proposal that the Sun was at the center of our solar system while the planets moved around it was by Aristarchus of Samos, a Greek mathematician and astronomer who lived in the 3rd century BC. (Others may have proposed it earlier, but no reference to them remains after 2400 years.) However, the views of Aristotle proved easier to accept. It wasn't until Copernicus developed the same theory (probably independently) based on more accurate and complete observational data that the heliocentric view of the solar system was widely accepted.
the Greek Philosophers did not test their theory.
That was the earliest version of atomic theory, proposed by the Greek philosopher Democritus.Democritus
The atomic theory was first proposed in the 5th century BC by the Greek philosopher Leucippus and his student Democritus. The theory of relativity was first proposed by Albert Einstein in 1905 with his special theory of relativity, followed by his general theory of relativity in 1915.
The theory that the Earth was the center of the universe was popularized by Claudius Ptolemy, a Greek astronomer, in the 2nd century AD. This geocentric model of the universe was widely accepted in Western societies until the heliocentric model proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century.
Aristarchus of Samos was the Greek scientist who first proposed a heliocentric view of the universe, suggesting that the Earth revolves around the Sun. This idea was revolutionary for its time and laid the foundation for later heliocentric models developed by Copernicus and Galileo.

The heliocentric theory was proposed by the ancient Greek astronomer Aristarchus of Samos around the 3rd century BCE. However, it was popularized by Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th century with his work "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres).
The theory of a just society was proposed by the Greek philosopher Plato in his work "The Republic." In it, he discusses the concept of justice in an ideal society where individuals have defined roles based on their abilities and needs.
