    The dynamical description of the geocentric Universe
    Luka Popov
    University of Zagreb, Department of Physics, Bijeniˇcka cesta 32, Zagreb, Croatia
    E-mail:lpopov@phy.hr

    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

    There is no question about it, the earth does NOT MOVE!

    and when a quasar explodes on the other side of alpha centari,

    the Earth is ripped to shreds or shifted in distance from the Sun, by the Gravity displacement.

    And universe is half a light day thick, according to second part of the video, you posted... What do you figure happens at the edge? The Voyager probes should be there by now, did they just slam into the wall?

    Google Doodle celebrates French physicist Léon Foucault’s 194th birthday with pendulum tribute

    Foucault pendulum is a simple device introduced in 1851 to confirm that the earth rotated

    The interactive doodle is based on the Foucault pendulum - a radical device he created to demonstrate the effect of the earth’s rotation - and allows users to manipulate the swinging bob according to where on earth they happen to be.
    The Foucault pendulum is a simple device introduced in 1851 to confirm, in as basic a way as possible, the long-assumed theory that the earth rotated.
    Foucault’s original pendulum was first exhibited in the Meridian of the Paris Observatory, and consisted of a 28kg brass-coated lead bob with a 67-metre long wire from the dome of the Pantheon. The pendulum made a full circle once every 32.7 hours, swinging clockwise at 11 degrees per hour.
    Foucault was born the son of a publisher in Paris on September 18, 1819 and originally studied medicine, but was forced to give it up after developing a fear of blood.
    His career as a physicist began shortly after, assisting and collaborating with Alfred Donne and Hippolyte Fizeau.
    In 1850 he conducted a ground-breaking experiment that was viewed as “driving the last nail in the coffin” of Newton’s corpuscle theory of light when it proved light travels more slowly through water than through air.
    In 1851 Foucault caused a sensation with his famous pendulum experiment, and the following year he used and named (but did not invent) the gyroscope – a device for measuring and maintaining orientation.
    In 1855 Foucault discovered that the force required for the rotation of a copper disc becomes greater when it is made to rotate with its rim between the poles of a magnet, the disc at the same time becoming heated by the eddy current or “Foucault currents” induced in the metal.
    Two years later he invented the Foucault polarizer, and in 1858 devised a method of testing the mirror reflecting telescope to determine its shape – the so-called Foucault knife-edge test which is still used in amateur telescopes.
    Foucault died of multiple sclerosis on February 11, 1868 at the age of 48 after being made a member of many of the top scientific societies in Europe.
    He was buried in the Cimetière de Montmartre, with his name among those of seventy-two French scientists, engineers, and mathematicians engraved on the Eiffel Tower. The asteroid 5668 Foucault is also named after him.

    Hmmm 32.7 hours it takes to make a full circle. I wonder why that is?

    I figured it out, it depends on the latitude of where it is located, iow at the equator it won't rotate at all, at 30 degrees lat. it will rotate in 48 hours, in Paris latitude 32.7 hours, at the North or South Pole 24 hours...

    ...l
    The Foucalt pendulum only confirms a relative rotation between earth and the rest of the universe. It cannot distinguish between an earth rotating in stationary space nor space rotating around a stationary earth.

    If the rotation is relative the Sun would rise in the West, while the Earth spun towards the East.
