The only reason we believe the Earth rotates around the Sun is because we base it around the amount of time it takes for a full year rotation of the earth.

However, has the question ever been intelligently answered that perhaps the Sun rotates around the Earth? The Sun is 109 times larger than the Earth according my my educational resources, thus we conduct the academic equation 360.33^109 and get 4.790115266959691e+278.

That being said, it takes the Sun 4.790115266959691e+278 days to rotate around the Earth.

Would anyone challenge this hypothesis?

I conducted an experiment where I had three video cameras angled differently at various parts of a wetlands environment and took 3 72 hour cycles to analyze the results.

What I had discovered was that the sun had moved to different places, but in the same direction. It would disappear on one side, and reappear on the other hours later. This lead me to believe that the Sun was in fact, rotating around the earth.

Yes, we notice that the sun "goes up and down" once a day, so if the earth is stationary and the sun goes around, it would have to take 1 day.

You could've just said you didn't understand the question.

The Sun passes overhead on the Earth at a latitude of 23.5°N in the summer, moves to over the equator by the Fall Equinox, then 23.5° S in the winter, then back up to the equator by the vernal equinox, then back to 23.5°N in the summer and repeats ethat cycle every year.

Conscious energy is what everything must be drawn towards. The only plausible center of the universe is that which is conscious, the Earth, because all else would not exist if it was not recognized and acknowledged.

What is existence? Or what causes something to exist? Fire exist because it burns "fuel", being all that tit touches. If fire was not acknowledged, it would not exist, because nothing would be burnt. "But the fire must start, when you perhaps light a match?" The match is that of which that is being burnt, the match is acknowledging the fire. If there was not match to acknowledge the flame, there would be no fire.

If there is no conscious to acknowledge all existence, all it existence would cease to exist.

Correct, the earth is at the "center". The heliocentric model is sun worship (Helios is a Greek sun God) - they made the earth orbit the sun God, tilted towards it as if it's bowing.

These are just all different stories that reuse the story of the sun and the earth. What you are failing to notice is that when you change the intent of the story or the narrator (perspective) of the story, you create new stories that create new intents and new narrators, and limit the stories you can then tell.

The earth can be held stationary, but not in an inertial or gravitational story. But the inertial and gravitational stories CAME from not holding the earth stationary!

You can make the sun and the planets rotate around the earth. But you can't then hold the same rules about angular energy, or energy being minimized, or Noether Symmetry or the conservation laws that come from them, but all those laws came from not holding the earth as the center.

But then again, if your only intent is to find out where the sun comes up, by all means, you better make the earth the center.

If you want to find stars or planets at night, just try to hold the sun as the center.

If you want to launch a satellite to Neptune's moons, just try using anything but the satellite itself as the center of the solar system.

It all depends on the story you want to tell and whether that story is useful to be believed for its intent and its narrator or does that story stop...

Are Earthlings so competent that they base the increments of which to measure distance and time in the universe on their own day cycles? The Sun is 109.1 times as large as the Earth, so the suns day cycles are bound to be significantly larger than the Earth's, but instead Earth people stick to their English and Metric systems of measurement that limit the magnitude of comprehension for things around them in the universe.

And what is to say that everything does not rotate around the earth? We base rotation off of a circular shape consisting of 360 degrees. Are Earthlings so concomitant to base all rotational phenomena in the universe on our own subjective definition of that which is the "rotation"? We should analyze the shape of the universe, movement patterns of planets, stars, asteroids, and other space objects in addition to their size to compose an average speed, pattern, size, and shape to base the shape that we define a rotation upon as.

They have been around the Sun and the Earth an equal number of times. To so instantly assume that it is the Sun they have rotated around and not the Earth is like saying babies come out of a female's waist when the waist is in fact non other than a container for the true reproductive organ.

A few assumptions that you already agree on. The earth is round and the sun's rays being a straight line that doesn't perfectly encompass the entire surface earth evenly.

Not really a valid comparison is it? Did the shit you stepped in match the shape of your shoe? Does this happen repeatedly at predictable times?

>going on about how the moon "perfectly" blocks the sun
It doesn't, you fucktard. The sun is really fucking far and despite how big it actually is, it's apparent """size""" from our perspective is almost comparable to a pea held at arm's length. So no, the moon doesn't block it "perfectly". What it's blocking every eclipse is 95% rays.

Mars or Earth has GOT to be moving -- or do you think Mars is stationary in the sky?

Depends on the eclipse. Sometimes the moon is a bit larger than the Sun, and the eclipse lasts a bit longer. Sometimes the moon appears a bit smaller, and you get an annular eclipse.
