Nicolaus Copernicus...

...you are WRONG.

Hello trusty followers. I don't know if you guys are aware, but Nicolaus Copernicus (a fellow astronomer who is, admittedly, brilliant) just updated his blog (Click here to see his blog). This recent entry describes his theory on the universe. He claims that the sun is motionless in the center of the universe, and the planets revolve around the sun. The apparant revolution of the sun and stars around the Earth is supposedly the motion of the Earth spinning on it's own axis.


What? This can't be right. Copernicus is a smart guy but I just don't agree with this. There is no observable parallax in the universe, therefore the Earth must be motionless in the center of the universe! That, or the stars are so far away that we cannot see the parallax, but that can't be right either. Why? For religious reasons. The church explicitly states that the Earth is in the center of the universe.



So, I decided to create my own theory. Here, you can see the planets revolving around the Sun, while the Sun and the Moon are revolving around the Earth, which is in the center of the universe. This theory supports the idea that the Earth is in the center of the universe, and it also supports the observations that I have made on the apparent movement of Mars.
What do you guys think? Do you support my theory, or Copernicus's? Obviously mine.

  1. Just because the Church says something is right, does not necessarily mean that it is. You're trying to force a geocentric theory of the universe, that doesn't make sense with recent discoveries. I'm going to stick by my theory.
