An Historical Question concerning Occam's Razor -
Devil's Advocate Hat On:
When did the Copernican Theory of our Solar system become as precise
as the Ptolmeic Theory?
Did Newton work out the perturbations required - or am I totally
bonkers in believing someone who claimed that all the cycles and epi-
cycles DID give more precise predictions than did Copernicus (and
Kepler)?
