The meaning is the same, ColdWater.

My statement:

The use of a geocentric or heliocentric frame of reference is a matter of philosophical choice, and not a matter of scientific proof, basically, according to Einstein

The specific cite of Einstein from The Evolution Of Physics:

The struggle, so violent in the early days of science, between the views of Ptolemy and Copernicus would then be quite meaningless. Either CS could be used with equal justification. The two sentences, 'the sun is at rest and the earth moves,' or 'the sun moves and the earth is at rest,' would simply mean two different conventions concerning two different CS.

Would you like for me to break it down for you, or would you prefer another set of quotes from several noted physicists who say pretty much what I've said, in reference to the above?

Note the use of the word “could” instead of “can”.

You claimed it was part of the theory of general relativity. Please cite that instead of his views on ancient physics.

I went to two different geocentrists sites. Each had different wording than yours. Which site did you get yours from?

I remember you silly arguments and having to invent fictitional forces to make your argument. Your fictitional forces are NOT in the Einstein equations. You can post all you want.

“A study done in 2005 by Dr. Jon D. Miller of Northwestern University, an expert in the public understanding of science and technology,[13] found that one adult American in five thinks the Sun revolves around the Earth.[14]”

I didn’t realize till now how large your group is!
