The idea of the ancient Greeks that scientists during the 1500s and 1600s built upon and disproved is that Earth is the center of the universe. This geocentric model was challenged by the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus and further supported by the work of Galileo and Kepler, which showed that the sun is at the center of the solar system, with the planets, including Earth, revolving around it.
