Well I have yet to see anyone refute it with scientific evidence.

I didn't say it was. What I said is that it demonstrates the fact
that the earth MOVES - i.e. it goes in an orbit round the sun.

No. you didn't show me to be wrong. You put forward your theory in
order to account for the observed parallaxes. Also, I wasn't furious, but
I was rather sad!
The tychonic model does NOT account for the aberration of light.
If the stars were rotating round the earth (or sun), the angle of the
aberration of light would be different for all the stars, because they
MUST be moving at different speeds if they are at different distances (or
do you claim that all the stars are at the same distance from the earth?)
In fact the aberration of light is exactly the same for ALL stars,
which would indicate that the stars are stationary (comparatively) and
that the earth is moving.
The problem is that I quote observed facts, and proven scientific
theories. There is absolutely no scientific evidence for the stars going
round the earth every 24 hours, and lots of scientific evidence that they
don't.
I have never been rude in my postings. I'm sorry if you think I
have, but if being opinionated means voicing my opinions, yes, I have done
that. As a retired physics teacher, I am very concerned that incorrect
science may be being disseminated, and I put forward evidence for what I
believe is correct science.
