With just the right spirograph I think I could make geocentrism work

And both were wrong, because we move in spiral, so Spiralcentrism.

Always thought this such a beautiful presentation of what's happening in three dimensional space.

Is one really more true over the other? Sure heliocentrism wins by occum's razor, but that's it. Makes you think, if perspective matters so much for understanding the world..

Makes you think... is the accelerated expansion of the universe just mysterious to us because we aren't evaluating it all from a good reference frame? It's possible the 4-d coordinate system we call spacetime isn't a great choice...

With the 'intermediary' Tychonic system beautifully showing how a revolutionary idea takes time to find root in the human mind.

represent that in 3 dimensions, and expand the scope to show all vectors in play, and then the...burden of complexity flips quite considerably

The interesting thing is that all the epicycles in geocentric model for the various planets complete one revolution every 365 days. Hmmm

It should be impossible then to see Venus and Mercury at night with heliocentrism model.
