Abstract.
Using Mach’s principle, we will show that the observed diurnal and annual motion of the Earth can just as well be accounted as the diurnal rotation and annual revolution of the Universe
around the fixed and centered Earth. T his can be performed by postulating the existence of vector and scalar potentials cause d by the simultaneous motion of the masses in the Universe, including the distant stars.

4. Conclusion
We have presented the mathematical formalism which can justify Mach’s statement that both geocentric and Copernican modes of view are
“equally actual” and “equally correct” [3]. This is performed by introducing two potentials, (1) vector potential that accounts for the diurnal rotations
and (2) scalar potential that accounts for the annual revolutions of the celestial bodies around the fixed Earth. These m otions can be seen
as real and self-sustained. If one could put the whole Universe in accelerated motion around the Earth, the potentials (3.1) and (3.5) would
immediately be generated and would keep the Universe in that very same state of motion ad infinitum
.
