Poll: Copernicus actually formulated a very convincing Egocentric Cosmology. Unfortunately, he'd forgotten it before learning how to write. RightOrWrong?

Nothing wrong with putting one's self at the center of the universe, especially in the
sense of that time honored phrase "Everywhere you go, there you are."
It just
involves calculating a lot more trajectories.
Just think, you are now (presumably)
sitting on the surface of a planet, that is rotating on its own axis, while simultaneously
orbiting the sun, which sun is slowly orbiting the galactic core, which galaxy is slowly
tracing some path among the local galactic group.
With all that motion going on,
if you could figure out how to actually hold a fixed position in space relative to all
those vectors, you'd probably go flying off the earth at a few billion miles per hour!
Maybe thats how the ufo-nauts do it.



Done. !
