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.

Dear DannyTN,

Please don't be like so many other Flat Earthers that show up here. LibWhacker is trying to inform you that youtube video does not necessarily equal education, and in this case he is correct.

Physical laws of motion like Newtons laws, or Keplers planetary motion, work in an inertial frame. These laws, which start out as theory, get 'proven' or disproved by experiment and measurement.

We have known for hundreds of years now the planets orbit the sun because we can observe their motion, and predict their motions, using Keplers laws and Newtons laws.

Saying that it all revolves around the Earth, since as you say it all relative, would void all these laws. The other planets would no longer move in predictable fashion, and a great many other things we can observe and measure would be unexplainable. The mass of the Earth could never hold the mass of the sun in orbit for example.
