Comment Comment by jkot Earth-Centric model was actually scientifically better at that time. With Occam's razor you would prefer it.- Even church agreed that Earth is not static, but is rotating.- Nobody observed star parallax, major proof for Copernican model was missing until 19th century.- Ptolemaic model with its epicycles provided better predictions.- Copernican model is also wrong, planets are orbiting around center of gravity, which is outside of sun.. parent jkot 10 years ago
