The same video also made the claim that the need for dark matter disappears if everything rotates around the earth, (if you adopt a non-Copernican view) though I didn’t understand why it would disappear. Not sure they explained why.

Would our homeowner’s insurance cover the damage? ‘-)

45 minutes for later ... maybe. Chance of this happening in next million years? Zero. I’m a bit more worried about my wife up in NC visiting family.

Bump anyway. ;-)

According to relativity, whether the earth rotates around the sun or the sun rotates around the earth along with the entire universe, is simply a matter of perspective.

Uh, no.

What is unknowable is the speed of the universe. How can we assume it is motionless?

That is why ‘Time Travel’ is impractical. Even if you perfected a Time Machine, just going back ONE SECOND in TIME would leave you stranded in the middle of a very cold dead space.......................

UNLESS you compensated for it...

That’s my life right there.

Sometimes spinning in a slow circle, nice and calm.
Sometimes spinning in wild gyrations, going all higlty-piglty!

It would have to be super precise compensation, else you might wind up inside a rock or the ocean................or the moon....................

Why not?
There’s someone else on this thread that said it was equally valid. So it’s Youtube Video + 1 Freeper to you.

I really don’t care how fast the earth moves.

I just want a portal to the beach in my bathroom.

And a portal to my next girlfriend’s house.
And a portal to work.
And maybe a few other portals.

C’mon, you can find YouTube videos that say the earth is flat.

One reason you might want to reformulate your claim, for instance, is that relativity doesn’t contradict Copernicus.

You can find videos that say the earth is flat, but this video didn’t make that claim.

If relativity doesn’t contradict Copernicus, does it prove Copernicus? I think not.

The claim isn’t that the planets orbit the earth. The claim is that the Sun orbits the earth from the earth’s perspective. And since you have no fixed absolute position to measure any movement by, it’s all relative to what position you choose to assume is fixed.

It all depends on where you are standing.

Study physics much? I think not.

Friendly advice: Go to the nearest junior college and take math and physics until they are pouring out of your ears. THEN you'll understand quite a bit more about it. But you'll have to not be so resistant to learning the material, or you won't get through the first class.

I'm not saying this to dis you, but it's clear you don't understand the simplest concepts. And it's all because you haven't studied the material, which leads you to make ridiculous comments like your first claim above. Do it. You won't be sorry. We all had to do it. Cheers!

You still haven’t explained why?

I’m not saying the video is right. But you’ve not offered a reason why it’s wrong.

I haven't seen the video. Did you post a link, or do you want me to explain why a video I haven't seen is wrong?

Second, I think you just want to argue. You've planted your feet on a preposterous mountain and dared me to knock you off. Sorry, not my thing.

Notice the science adviser's answer Physics forum discussion

Notice the PHD in physics says "Well technically it isn’t wrong." Another

I’ll have to go home and look at my viewing history to find the video. Which I probably won’t do. The concept is simple and the video covers much more than this. I don’t want you to minor pieces of the video or the author. I want you to debunk the concept.

And I just sent you two physics forums where they are saying it’s all relative to the frame of reference.
