    Re: Geocentrism

    For anyone interested in listening to a debate featuring Robert Sungenis (www.galileowaswrong.com and www.galilewaswrong.blogspot.com) on the side of geocentrism you may want to check out the following: http://www.aotmclub.com/index.asp?PageID=9&EID=24. Don't be thrown off by the title of the argument: "The Church and the Modern University: Who's the Real Enemy of Science?" Its main content deals with geocentrism.

    The debate is not the greatest, but that is not due to a lack of knowledge or debating skills by Dr. Sungenis, but rather due to the somewhat bombastic and even bullying tone of his opponent who apparently took this approach to make up for his somewhat limited and or erroneous knowledge of much of the subject matter. You can also listen to a Q & A after the debate.

    The Foucault pendulum ( /fˈk/ foo-KOH), or Foucault's pendulum, named after the French physicist Léon Foucault, is a simple device conceived as an experiment to demonstrate the rotation of the Earth. While it had long been known that the Earth rotated, the introduction of the Foucault pendulum in 1851 was the first simple proof of the rotation in an easy-to-see experiment. Today, Foucault pendulums are popular displays in science museums and universities.

    Horn, the video I posted in post #36 explains that if all stars are rotating around the sun, which is rotating around us, it would create the funny forces we see, like to Coriolis force. Also parallaxes, and red shift/blue shift.

    Funny, or not everything spins, everything.

    For you to say the earth does not, is creating a world that is not natural & also unfit for man.

    Evil.

    Re: Geocentrism

    I suggest to proponents of geocentrism undertaking a study physics, either by working through a textbook, or by taking a class, so that the amusing ignorance displayed herein might be banished.

    I will help with that for $40/hr using Skype and flockdraw if anyone is interested.

    Re: Geocentrism

    All I'm saying is that it appears geocentrism cannot be disproven. The reason is that someone can always say that everything around us moves in impossibly complex ways and we are fixed. That part is a model, not a theory. I personally would not use such a complex model if I was trying to do astronomy because I wouldn't be smart enough to.

    From what I can tell, the only way it could be disproven is if we could see every star in the universe, and it was shown we were not located at the center of mass.

    It was already proven with Foucault's pendulum, see below post #42.
