Dear Brian,
You've missed the point... Nothing changes. Everything remains exactly the
same.. It is only your view of the world that changes...
You have explained all the observations with the model of fixed stars and
a rotating earth. In your model the rotation of the earth causes the sun,
the planets, the moon and the stars to rise and set every 24 hours. My
point is it could well be [and we have no way of telling] that the earth
is fixed and the whole universe is rotating around it every 24 hours...
Nothing changes. Your radar distances are the same, all the relative
distances are the same. And when you go out into the universe in your
space-ship you start rotating with the universe as well. [but because you
think the stars are "fixed"] you look down and see good old mother earth
rotating...
Thank you. Hare Krishna!
