This is the first site I have come across acknowleding a position that I have long been thinking about. Heliocentric / geocentric / moon-centric / jupiter-centric – It’s really just a matter of selecting a reference frame. As Einstein himself says also, all inertial ref. frames are equal in themselves – it is up to us to select a frame that is most convenient for us. The Laws of Physics are true in all inertial reference frames. Thank-You for your contribution to my on-going deliberations.
