...Really? Geocentric theory? Honestly? It's 2010 dude.

This video has several problems. The diagrams you use aren't consistent; the orbit diagram shows Mars rotating around the sun, the next slide says that 'assuming Mars is NOT rotating around the sun...'. Furthermore, if Mars was rotating around the earth, it would need to have a highly eccentric orbit to account for the differences in observed size, but if it were that eccentric, Mars would fall into the sun.

Sorry, but, you're plain up... Wrong.

"next slide says that 'assuming Mars is NOT rotating around the sun.."

What a hack job. Let me add what you so willfully left out.

He said; "to simplify complex orbits that we will be dealing with, we will assume Mars.."

He is not saying Mars doesn't orbit the sun, he is simplifying, apparently not simple enough 4u.

"Furthermore, if Mars was rotating around the? earth"

LOL, he never said the Mars orbits the Earth. The rest of your comment is irrelevant.

so stupid.... neither the sun or earth is the center.... its only relative. you can therefore explain this in gencentric or heliocentric models the both would be correct. Its 2011 now people. plz lets learn that both CAN BE right.

@phaxad Uhh no, because it's 2011 you'd think that crackpots like this would have become extinct, but I see that is not the case. How sad... for humanity in general. We've been here for thousands of years yet some people still aren't convinced that science works. Instead of rambling off some bullshit geocentric theory, and calling it an explanation, how about they mathematically and experimentally prove that the Earth is at the center and why it is so. It's just not physically possible.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHA WOW!

YOU are an IDIOT!

For geocentrists:

If the earth is motionless, without centrifugal forces, how come people standing on high mountains weigh less? Why does the earth experience daily meteor showers at 5AM?

This is one of the most ridiculous explanations for mars retrograde I've ever seen

faith is to believe w/o proof which isnt what science is about. Science is about understanding the mechanisms of the way nature works. take hypothetical particles for example, like the graviton, or Boson-higgs. Science is looking for these particles, because they would validate theories that predict their existence. But until they're found, these theories and particles are not considered fact by science. such was the case with the neutrino until its discovery in the 1960's.
