So what. It predicts nothing new and is ridiculously complicated compared the conventional model that gravity causes smaller objects to orbit larger ones (that's the simple version anyway). It doesn't even explain "why" all those trajectories are followed. We may not know why gravity is, but we know it's there and how it behaves and from one formula can (in principle) predict all the movements of all "heavenly" bodies. Rather than threatening to ban people and getting worked up over their tone (when yours is not much better quite frankly), explain to us something of this Tychonic Model. Show us how our observations fit this model in anything deeper than the fact that it is how everything appears from earth. I could come up with any number of convoluted theories that fit the observable facts and my particular beliefs and you couldn't disprove any of them, doesn't give them any merit. Occams razor me old mucker. Regards, Mike.
