Galileo Galilei, Nicolaus Copernicus, Eratosthenes, Immanuel Kant and Edwin Hubble are some of the thinkers who gave theories about the origin of Earth.
Explanation:
- There are a lot of theories about the origin with the more recent ones stating that the earth is in fact flat.
- It was Galileo who discovered that earth is spherical. In the 4th Century, philosophers like Plato and Aristotle wrote theories regarding the model of earth being geocentric.
- According to the philosopher Plato, the earth was spherical in shape.
- According to Aristotle, Moon was touching the realm of this planet.
- Another model known as the Ptolemaic model stated that the movement of each planet was facilitated by two distinct spheres, one being the different and one being the epicycle.
- All these scientists and philosophers are equally responsible for the knowledge we imbibe today about earth.
