Answers
Explanation:
Heresy is anything or an option against the established theory while a dogma is a well established theory. It is true that every great physical theory starts as a heresy and ends as a dogma. Few examples about it are given below.
(i) According to the geocentric theory given by Ptolemy; the earth is stationary and all other heavenly bodies such as sun, stars and other planets revolve around it. Later on, an Italian scientist Galileo postulated heliocentric theory, according to which the sun is stationary and earth along with other planets revolve around it. This theory was a heresy at that time' but later on, Newton and Kepler supported this theory and it became a dogma.
(ii) Newton's corpuscular theory, according to which light consists of small corpuscules (particle), was started as a heresy and ended in Max Planck's quantum theory of light.
