@RJL738 brainless.

@polonophobia In part 3 he talks about Copernicus rediscovering the sun-centered concept (from ancient Greek, Indian, and Arab astronomers). He was able to "prove" the system mathematically, but his physical model was inaccurate. Others came after him, science continued to evolve, & people slowly became more & more convinced. This vid's givin credit 2 ALL the ppl who were responsible for introducing/reviewing/fixing/p­opularizing the theories, not just the ppl who we think thought of them first.

Wait... If Mars has an unnatural orbit... then what cause the gravitational pull for it to happen...???

@1life1chance1986

Agreed - but it's not truth - Copernicus was the first.

[1life1chance1986]

@polonophobia They do make it sound like Galileo was the first to disprove the idea that the earth was the center.

[2eelShmeal]

The idea that the movement of the planets can affect the lives of humans (astrology) is yet another example of our illusion of centrality and self importance. Imagine the arrogance of the thought that the cosmos' sole purpose of existence is to guide our daily events!

[mzedong001]

People go insane when they try to put themselves at the centre of everything.

When they realize that what they used to call ´centre´is something close to a singularity point , everything changes.

Suddenly the Sun is no longer the ´centre´as such of the present planetary system which revolves around it , with it revolving around itself and everything else moving , but rather , the Sun acts as an enormous focus of singularity energy.

[polonophobia]

Copernicus was the first to prove that the Sun is in the center of the universe.

He had written "On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres" in 1543 in which he comes with his Heliocentric model and proves it mathematically.

This documentary is so inaccurate and incomplete that it's just sad.
