It was painful, but there was a time when they actually defined equations for the earth being the center of the solar system which matched observations. The equations were a mess, but they managed to force the math into their hypothesis. Then Copernicus came along. Do you still believe the earth is the center of the solar system?
I'm sure you can twist the math upside down and get the same results defining gravity as a function of matter instead of as curved space time using some modified newtonian mechanics or such, but do you really believe that's correct?
- dschiptsov 11y agoWhich experiment proves existence of time (apart from some physical process), especially its slowdown and acceleration, like in famous theoretical example with accelerated clocks? As far as I remember, in the philosophy of science a single contradiction is enough to refute a hypothesis and is the reason to check one's premises.. Some himera made out of math and popular but unproven theories is a himera nevertheless.
