Aristotle made significant contributions to the field of logic, particularly through his work on syllogisms and deductive reasoning, which laid the groundwork for formal logic and scientific reasoning. The other advancements mentioned—such as the discovery that all objects fall at the same rate (later achieved by Galileo), the development of the atomic theory of matter (developed by Democritus and furthered by others), and the heliocentric model (developed by Copernicus)—were not attributed to Aristotle.
