Toic System and Its Challenges

The video discusses Toomy, an Alexandrian astronomer, and his geocentric theory, which placed Earth at the center of the solar system. Although not originally his idea, Toomy expanded on earlier concepts by detailing the mathematical aspects of the Toic system, including epicycles. Despite being incorrect, the system accurately predicted planetary positions and was dominant until the 1500s and 1600s. Galileo's observations with telescopes revealed flaws in the Toic system, leading to a more accurate understanding of the universe.

Who was Toomy and what was his contribution to astronomy?

• A Roman philosopher who discovered epicycles

• An Alexandrian astronomer who popularized the geocentric theory

• A Greek mathematician who invented the telescope

• An Alexandrian astronomer who proposed the heliocentric theory

What does the term 'geocentric' mean in the context of the Toic system?

• Earth at the center

• Sun at the center

• Mars at the center

• Moon at the center

What are epicycles in the Toic system?

• Smaller orbits that planets spin around

• The path of the sun around the Earth

• The orbit of the moon around the Earth

• The main orbits of planets

Why was the Toic system considered accurate despite being incorrect?

• It correctly placed the sun at the center

• It accurately predicted planetary positions

• It was based on modern scientific methods

• It was supported by religious authorities

Until when did the Toic system remain the dominant understanding of the solar system?

• Until the 1500s and 1600s

• Until the 1300s

• Until the 1200s

• Until the 1700s

What was a major flaw of the Toic system?

• It was based on incorrect mathematical calculations

• It did not match the reality of planetary motions

• It was too simple and lacked detail

• It placed the sun at the center

Who was one of the key figures in challenging the Toic system?

• Aristotle

• Newton

• Copernicus

• Galileo

What technological advancement helped in observing flaws in the Toic system?

• The discovery of electricity

• The creation of the astrolabe

• The development of the telescope

• The invention of the microscope

How did Galileo contribute to the decline of the Toic system?

• By inventing the telescope

• By proposing the geocentric theory

• By providing evidence against the Toic system

• By supporting the Toic system

What was the impact of the Toic system on people's understanding of the universe?

• It provided a correct view of the universe

• It was only accepted by a small group of people

• It hindered the correct understanding of the universe

• It was irrelevant to scientific progress
