> are you actually saying that heliocentrism is as good a model as our current model of the universe, and is likely to be an accurate representation of the true reality? No, I meant it doesn't really make a difference to assume the Earth is at the center and think of the movement of other objects relative to the Earth. The orbits wouldn't be simple though. In general, all models are wrong, it's just that some are more useful than the others.
