A NEW UNDERSTANDING OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM |
From at least the time of
Ptolemy in the 2nd century AD, man believed that the Earth was at the center of the
universe. In the 15th century, Copernicus brought us closer to the truth, moving the
Sun to the center of the universe.
Galileo, Kepler and others helped to move us from
our geocentric view of the universe, but at the end of the 20th century, science still
expresses the planetary relationships of solar system using the "Astronomical
Unit," the distance of the Earth from the Sun. |

|
Other than the fact that we
inhabit the Earth, is there any logical reason to base these relationships on the third
planet of the system? Are we still geocentric, and backwards, in our thinking?
Take a new look at the solar system and see the
incredible relationships that result when Mercury, the first planet, is used as the base
measure for the other planets. |
