Geocentrism
Geocentrism holds that the earth is at the center of the universe and that the universe is compartmentalized into different parts.
Gravitation is a real force Centrifugal force is a fictitious force Coriolis force is a fictitious force When forming a theory, the effect of the
universe can be ignored Quantum mechanics is separate from regular
mechanics Geocentrism has no room for the Bible
![Page 4: GEOCENTRICITY. Geocentricity vs. Geocentrism Animations courtesy of “Galileo Was Wrong.”](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020721/56649c825503460f9493a474/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Geocentricity Geocentricity is an integrated approach to
the universe Gravitation is a real force Centrifugal force is a real, gravitational force Coriolis force is a real, gravitational force When forming a theory, the effect of the
universe must be considered Quantum mechanics & regular mechanics
originate from the rotating firmament Geocentricity, as an integrated model, has
room for the Bible

Nicolaus Copernicus
Proposed that the earth orbits the sun and rotates daily on an axis.
Knew it was against Scripture, thus waited until he was about to die to publish it.
Was encouraged to do so by the Pope & head of the Inquisition in 1535

Tycho Brahe
Believed geocentric uni-verse is Scriptural
Built equipment to prove Copernican model wrong
Greatest naked-eye astronomer of all time
Proposed a geocentric model that saved all appearances
![Page 11: GEOCENTRICITY. Geocentricity vs. Geocentrism Animations courtesy of “Galileo Was Wrong.”](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020721/56649c825503460f9493a474/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Galileo Galilei
Called the father of modern physics
Used a telescope to destroy the Crystalline Sphere geocentrism
Insisted that Copernican model was proven, which got him in trouble with the Church of Rome
![Page 13: GEOCENTRICITY. Geocentricity vs. Geocentrism Animations courtesy of “Galileo Was Wrong.”](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020721/56649c825503460f9493a474/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Galileo on Scripture:
The Scriptures teach us how to go to heaven, not how the heavens go.
![Page 14: GEOCENTRICITY. Geocentricity vs. Geocentrism Animations courtesy of “Galileo Was Wrong.”](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020721/56649c825503460f9493a474/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
It was moreover necessary in Scripture, in order that it be accommodated to the general understanding, to say things quite diverse ... from absolute truth ... physical effects placed before our eyes by sensible experience, … should not in any circumstances be called in doubt by passages in Scripture that verbally have different semblance, since not everything in Scripture is linked to such severe obligations as is every physical effect.
Galileo on Scripture:
![Page 15: GEOCENTRICITY. Geocentricity vs. Geocentrism Animations courtesy of “Galileo Was Wrong.”](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020721/56649c825503460f9493a474/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Galileo & the Church of Rome
Called before Inquisition in 1611 & warned
In 1633 wrote a book that made fun of the Pope
Called before Inquisition again
Was shown instruments of torture
As with his first trial, he was released to his villa and a pension provided him by the RCC on the grounds that he not teach heliocentrism as fact
Before he died he changed his mind and concluded that the Geocentric Model was true after all.

Retrograde Motion
There are times when the planets go backwards
Heliocentric explanation
Geocentric explanation

Foucault Pendulum
A Foucault pendulum is said to prove the rotation of the earth
It only demonstrates a relative rotation between earth and universe
It cannot tell which is actually rotating
![Page 21: GEOCENTRICITY. Geocentricity vs. Geocentrism Animations courtesy of “Galileo Was Wrong.”](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020721/56649c825503460f9493a474/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Geostationary satellite Communications satellites etc. hover
over one point on earth’s equator Claim is that they should fall to earth But
Recall that centrifugal force is a REAL, GRAVITATIONAL force in geocentric model, not a fictitious force as in the heliocentric model
Geostationary satellite is not stationary as far as the universe is concerned
![Page 22: GEOCENTRICITY. Geocentricity vs. Geocentrism Animations courtesy of “Galileo Was Wrong.”](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020721/56649c825503460f9493a474/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Earth as seen from the Moon Astronauts on the moon saw the
earth rotate Therefore, we have proof that the Earth
rotates, not the universe A rider on a merry-go-round horse
sees the central engine rotate Therefore, we have proof that the
engine rotates, not the merry-go-round platform

Airy’s Failure
An experiment involving aberration
A water-filled telescope should be pointed further ahead than an air-filled telescope
Airy found they point the same
Implies the earth does not orbit the sun but that the star follows the sun in its yearly motion
Or Fresnell Drag, or Relativity ….

Michelson-Morley Experiment
Tried to detect the motion of the earth about the sun
Found none
![Page 27: GEOCENTRICITY. Geocentricity vs. Geocentrism Animations courtesy of “Galileo Was Wrong.”](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020721/56649c825503460f9493a474/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Mach’s Principle
Found that geometry requires geocentricity and heliocentrism to yield identical results
Thus no experiment can prove one over the other
Inertia due to the gravity of all objects in the universe
![Page 28: GEOCENTRICITY. Geocentricity vs. Geocentrism Animations courtesy of “Galileo Was Wrong.”](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020721/56649c825503460f9493a474/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Sagnac Experiment
An experiment related to the Michelson-Morley test
Designed to test for the rotation of the earth
Got a positive result
However, cannot tell if earth rotates or cosmos rotates about earth
![Page 29: GEOCENTRICITY. Geocentricity vs. Geocentrism Animations courtesy of “Galileo Was Wrong.”](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020721/56649c825503460f9493a474/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The Firmament
By the early 1930s it was clear that there was a hidden medium underlying all of space
In the 1980s this was identified as the firmament of Genesis chapter 1.

Lense-Thirring Effect Derived from a geocentric model in
1918 Paper in Physikalische Zeitschr. Vol. 19 Assumes universe is a shell rotating about
the earth (or some central point) Finds there should be an effect not
discoverable in a heliocentric model Gravity Probe B satellite etc. have
apparently found it Claimed to be proof of Relativity, but…

Sir Fred Hoyle
We know that the difference between a heliocentric theory and a geocentric theory is one of relative motion only, and that such a difference has no physical significance.
— Astronomy and Cosmology, 1975, p. 416.

The question of the earth’s motion was the single point in which orthodoxy came into real contact with science ... for the stability of the earth is as clearly assumed from one end of the Old Testament to the other as the solidity of iron. Those who take the Bible to be totidem verbis dictated by the God of Truth can refuse to believe it ... [but] ignorance apart, every word is truth, or the writer did not mean truth. But this puts the whole book on its trial: for we can never find out what the writer meant, unless we otherwise find out what is true. ... Common sense will either accept the verbal meaning or deny verbal inspiration.
—Augustus de Morgan,1916 edition of A Budget of Paradoxes

Joshua 10:12-1312 Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
