Re: [Phys-L] Sun going around the Earth?



If the Sun goes around the Earth, then so does the whole bunch of stars.

That explains the expansion of the universe by centrifugal force.

perhaps that is what we should fight: absolutism (or not)

un_asking the question: is the earth rotating? (around the sun, around
itself, arround what)

and replacing it by: is there a class of universal reference systems in
wich Focault pendulums do not spin?

by the way, what is the reason for that? or what makes that particular
systems class so important? What is the way our universe fixes that? Is the
same in all "places" and "times", is there a way
to answer that?

do we have an answer for that? god creating the universe in that frame? do
the universe have a total angular momentum in that frame? Is the same that
angular moment when you calculate from diferent frames and places? If
there are another universes (other places or times or instances), is the
same in all of them? What about gravity waves? Is there a sticky property
in the matter?, do pendulums feel the universe spinning arround them? and
follow?

Develop the capacity to unask questions is perhaps more important than the
ability to answer (right or wrong) all the questions.

change "God exists?" by "is the kind of god that you proposes compatible
with that we know?"

the "fact" that there are non-sense questions ...

but ...

is there an absolute truth? the theory of everything? the absolute physics?
are we seekers of the Truth? do we insist over a truth, an experimental
absolute observed truth? do we qualify students about they knowledge over
that truth?
