Calculate the orbits of the planets revolving around the sun. a sun-centered model of the Universe. Provided evidence that supported Copernicus's theory. Assembled an astronomical telescope. Was kept under house arrest for the rest of his life for proving the heliocentric theory. a branch of mathematics partially developed by Newton and used to explain his laws. force keeping the planets in their orbits around the sun. By the age of 24, he had formed a brilliant theory to explain why the planets moved as they did. He wanted science to make better life for people by leading to practical technologies. He explained all matter as being composed of tiny particles that behave in knowable ways. He proposed a heliocentric model of the universe. a step-by-step process of discovery to collect and accurately measure data. In the scientific method, scientists propose a logical __________, which they then test.
