What are the Purported Proofs of Heliocentricity?
First of all, do you understand the concepts frame of reference and relative motion?
Heliocentric or Geocentrospheric?
- IF you were on the Sun you’d be observing heliocentricity,
- SINCE you’re not, you’re on the Earth, you’re observing Geocentrosphericity.
The difference between helio- and geo- is frame of reference. They are two frames of reference in the same system. They coexist although one is empirical (geo) and the other is theoretical (helio). Unfortunately the people of our time don’t seem to be able to grasp it. Here’s the list of things, phenomena or individuals, that purportedly prove heliocentricity, only they don’t. Not even close. Articles which supposedly prove heliocentricity, or debunk Geocentrosphericity, are generally a hodgepodge of 2-7 of the items below.
