There are two sides of Physics, one which is orthodox and goes by convention like for example negative or positive signs assigned to the values and the other, which is the one which does not follow conventions. Now, the opinions which are against the conventions are called HERESY, while an established stuff is known as DOGMA. For example, Copernicus’s geocentric theory was a heresy, until it was proved and became a Dogma......

Answer 2

Answer:

Any opinion against the conventional belief is a heresy, while dogma is an established belief. The geocentric theory of Copernicus started as a heresy but it ended as dogma when his theory was explained by Tycho Brahe and Johnes Kepler later on.
