Dear Philip Madsen Your name sounds pretty Danish? Your first point doesn't qualify in support of geocentrism. Science is by no means democratic, but that doesn't mean that a lack of main-stream support makes a theory correct. The way you rephrased my question, makes your first point acceptable, but I am not interested in that question. I am already spending valuable time on this so you don't have to prove further to me that I should give the issue attention. I have summed up your other points into: "There exists a measurable ether, ergo the Earth cannot be moving."
