      First, are you denying the objective fact of the sun? Second, is Copernicus’ whole earth around the sun thing just a cis white guy colonially imposing his oppressive way of knowing on the world? Is heliocentrism a legitimate alternative? Does || and || make |||||?

      Actually the person I’m responding to is someone who’s evidently struggling with basic sun facts:https://twitter.com/eristae/status/1289646827696881665?s=21 …

      I'm saying that I don't think that you can prove either that the sun and planets revolve around the earth or that the planets revolve around the sun, but that hasn't stopped you from having *really strong* beliefs about it. Because it's not about what you can prove.

      But the sun DOES go around all the planets just as "objectively" as they go around it. I think you should take the plank from your own eye, so to speak. https://twitter.com/izs/status/1289648685941489664?s=21 …https://twitter.com/izs/status/1289648685941489664 …

      And even more relevant to this conv, with enough epicycles, both are equivalently "true". Just that one is way simpler. More generally, the earth and sun are in an orbital relationship with one another, neither is objectively the one the other "goes around".

      We don't accept models because they somehow correspond to a magical platonic "true" reality. We accept them because they predict observations to a reasonable degree of accuracy, with an acceptable parsimony of complexity.

      I have a prediction: the earth will continue revolving around the sun. Didn’t think I’d have 2 + 2 = 4 *and* earth revolves around the sun conversations in one day, but considering this is happening in the context of a woke agenda I’m not surprised.

      Okay you actually understand that there is no privileged frame of reference when deciding whether "the sun goes around the earth" or "the earth goes around the sun" right Is Einstein "woke"? Is relativity "woke"?

      Replying to @arthur_affect @izs and

      Are you suggesting that because of the theory of relativity Einstein ceased to hold the understanding that the earth revolves around the sun? At best that’s silly semantics if you wish to redefine “revolve.” Einstein was not woke. You clearly are.

      I believe he understood that there was no privileged frame of reference and that one could imagine either the Earth or the Sun as a fixed point if one so chose That's literally what that means

          Indeed general relativity, with its almost trollish insistence that there is no distinction between acceleration and gravitation, depends on "radical copernicanism" (not only are we not the center of the universe, it has no center, and therefore everything is the center)

          I.e. Einstein's mental image he used to develop general relativity was asking "If an elevator accelerating upwards makes you feel heavier, and a scale in such an elevator would read as if you were heavier, and a ball you dropped would fall like it was heavier... you are heavier"

          Einstein was greatly influenced by Mach, who, when talking to someone wondering how people could ever have thought the sun goes around the earth, replied, "Yes, of course; but if the sun DID go around the earth, I wonder -- what would that have looked like?" [SPOILER: The same]

          YES. The overwhelming majority of people today laugh at people in the past believing things not because they understand the arguments either way, but because they believe differently. Most people who laugh at geocentrism don't even know the arguments for or against it.
