They also thought that the sun and all the planets revolved around the earth. But that was not how it happened. Because of the scientific revolution that what made people think that earth always did. A really good example is Aristotle he made a theory that heavy objects fell faster then lighter objects like a bowling ball and a base ball. But about 1,500 years a man named Galileo went up to the leaning tower of Pisa and dropped one heavy and one light object at the same time and he made a theory saying that all objects fall at the same time,at the same speed and proved Aristotle wrong. Then during time scientists called it the scientific method. Another of those scientists was the famous Isaac newton he explained the laws of gravity and made us understand the modern day we now know as physics.
