The idea that the earth is stationary and everything orbits it is absurd on some many fundamental levels.

It directly contradicts that gravity is relative to mass. Something we know to be true.

It directly contradicts light speed. LOL can you imagine the speed that a galaxy like Andromeda must be traveling at. It’s 2 million light years away yet it can orbit the earth in a day, thats just over 12.5 million light years a day! In fact how can we even see it when it is moving approx 4562500000 times the speed of light!

LOL yep, these people believe that Andromeda is traveling at approx 4562500000 times the speed of light! I was going to continue but if someone can’t see how utterly ridiculous that is then they are beyond talking to.
And that’s just Andromeda. Stars and galaxies located much greater distances away will be covering a lot more territory in a 24 hour period, exceeding lightspeed by even more ridiculously enormous factors.

I can’t take it seriously any more than I would tale Superman’s comic book powers as scientifically accurate, but at least it’s entertaining.
 
Yes, I have a mind so I use it. The simple fact of the matter is if we did live in a geocentric universe then that also means the calculations we use to determine the location of planets and their future locations to send spacecraft to would be wrong and they’d miss every time. It’s math.

Wind is caused by the movement of gases or objects through those gases in our atmosphere. Those gases have a certain amount of resistance to them. Space…being a vacuum and all has so little to no resistance to objects that it causes no wind.

I can’t believe I’m actually explaining this garbage, this is grade school education.
‘Expain’, you must be joking, you wouldn’t get past the entrance exam to a grade school.

SPACE FLIGHT

‘But what about space flight’, we hear j1akey ask. ‘These days, don’t the newspapers and journals show us diagrams of rockets blasting off from an earth rotating and orbiting the sun? How could they get probes, crafts and even men to land on the planets unless they know for certain where the earth is supposed to be at any time in its orbit relative to the other planets also in orbit? Surely all those astrophysicists and rocket-science whiz kids that fill the computer halls of NASA’s launch site have to keep ongoing calculations of this heliocentric circus of shifting bodies while moving at 67,000mph, more than the speed of a bullet? And when aimed at a planet, then the planet too will have shifted some thousands of miles in one second. Can one even imagine the computations necessary for space flight via j1akey and other Copernicans.
The answer of course is that this concept too is fiction, as a letter to the New Scientist magazine of Aug. 16, 1979 confirmed:

Royal Air Force College
Cranwell, Linclonshire, England.

‘Sir, …One can of course believe anything one likes as long as the consequences of the belief are trivial. But when survival depends on that belief, then it matters that belief corresponds to manifest reality. We therefore teach navigators that the stars are fixed to the Celestial sphere, which is centred on a fixed earth, and around which it rotates in accordance with laws clearly deducible from common-sense observation. The sun and moon move across the inner surface of this sphere, and hence perforce go around the earth. This means that students of navigation must unlearn a lot of confused dogma they learned in school. Most of them find this remarkably easy, because dogma is as may be, but the real world is as we perceive it to be. If Andrew Hill will look in the Journal of Navigation he will find that the Earth-centred Universe is alive and well, whatever his readings of the Spectator may suggest.
Yours, Darcy Reddyhoff.’

Martin Gwynne completes our education:

‘Not the least interesting thing in the passage just quoted is the officer’s use of the term “confused dogma” when speaking of modern astronomy. For the sake of completeness I shall now fill in any gaps he left that might interest readers by giving the following summary of the principles of celestial navigation. (1) Celestial navigation is based on the premise of two concentric spheres – one (celestial) larger than the other – sharing a common pole, with the smaller and inner sphere remaining stationary while the outer revolves about it. (2) Calculations are based on the laws of spherical trigonometry. The measurements used to translate the computations into a position or “fix” on the earth are done in nautical miles (even in these days of almost universal metrication). Each of these 360 degrees of the circle is divided into 60 minutes. The nautical mile is defined as the length of one minute of longitude on the equator, or 6,080 feet. (3) The tables used to reduce or compute the resultant observations are based on 360 degrees. (4) All the navigators of the world use the same basic system, their calculations and charts being based on a fixed earth and the basic unit of the nautical mile.’

Yes, unbelievable isn’t it, they use the old geocentric system of navigation and it works for them. If any doubt how they calculate where the sun, moon, planets will be at any given time go to the Encyclopedia Britannica (Eclipse, p.869) and you will find the following propaganda:

‘For this purpose it is convenient first to consider the earth as fixed and to suppose the observer looking out from its centre…’

Of course it is, very convenient indeed. No doubt, for planetary flight, they could use a heliocentric system, taking into account all the moving bodies and the 15,000 Newtonian variables they say is necessary to work past the ‘perturbations’ in Kepler’s ellipse to find them, but, as the odds will confirm, there is no guarantee they would actually get their calculations right. I for one, if I were blasting off, would make sure they base their directions on geocentric reality, not heliocentric rhetoric.

NOW THAT IS EXPLAINING.

As for ‘wind in your hair’, this was metaphorical and it meant without any physical sensation at all. Moving at 67.000mph without even noticing it, yet the rotation of the universe must be expalinable for j1akey or he won’t believe it rotates.

Which brings us to another interesting question;

According to Galileo’s accepted physics, if a rocket leaves the earth that is supposed to be moving at 67,000mph, shouldn’t it leave the earth at its launch speed of 5,000mph or whatever speed is necessary to get through the 'gravitational field to open space, PLUS its earth speed of 67,000mph, that is, at a true speed of 72,000mph? Now I have not bothered to check this out, but I bet NASA calculates arrival time at distance divided by 25,000mph or whatever speed relative to the anti-gravity speed they use to get into open space. Surely, if we are to follow Galileo, then shouldn’t it be distance divided by 72,000mph for starters no matter what way they calculate their figures?
 
… they use calculations based one geocentricism because their measurements and the launches are taken and made from Earth. If we were making a launch on the moon, or mars, or somewhere in Andromeda based on measurements made from that planet we would use the "XXX"centric system.

You mean something we BELIEVE is true?

Gravity and Mass

Having postulated that particles of matter attract one another, Newton then added a second principle to his theory; that particles attract ‘with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the squares of the distance between them.’ i.e., the ‘distance-dilution inverse square law’, (the pull would be a quarter as strong at twice the distance, and one hundredth at ten times the distance etc.). According to Newton, the earth pulls or attracts a falling apple, and, wait for it, the apple pulls or attracts the earth. You see the centre of gravity lies at the centre of the two masses. But then Newton went into space. The earth and moon, he said, with the mass of their entire particle-attracting properties, are pulling at each other through space. This ‘pull’, while, thankfully, not strong enough to fully drag the moon down to the earth’s surface, is just strong enough to hold the moon orbiting the earth rather than having it fly off into space in a straight line as its first movement should have it doing (First Law of Motion). In other words, the combination of the distant attractions of the two masses finds equilibrium and the moon accordingly orbits the earth in natural perpetuity. Similarly, such an attraction between the sun and the planets results in the sun’s hold on the planets (which they say includes the earth) through millions of miles of space, keeping them in orbit around it. Given that the gravity on the surface of the earth for a known ‘mass’ (an apple for instance) can be measured in feet/seconds², they say the earth’s ‘mass’ can then be calculated relative to the apple. Following from this, all the masses of their solar system could be found and calculated. Thus Newton set up a brilliant theory for heliocentricism and as history shows, one that was good enough to see off geocentricism. Dig a little deeper however, and find Newton’s mass related ‘law’ had big problems.

‘Mass is a tricky concept. No doubt about it. It is not only difficult to understand, but, until Einstein, it was horribly ambiguous. — J.P. McEvoy and Oscar Zarate: Introducing Hawking, Icon Books, 1997, p.26.

And, we can assure you dear reader, after Einstein, mass is an even trickier concept, even ‘more horribly ambiguous’, a greased pig, designed to be so. These problems arose when Newton’s universal law is taken to its natural conclusion. In isolation the gravity caused ellipse curved heliocentric solar system looks Newtonian enough, but when extended to every particle of the known and outer universe two questions demanded an answer. Why doesn’t the whole universe solidify through attraction to its centre? To solve this question Newton declared an infinite universe, i.e., all is held in equilibrium. The next big difficulty for Newtonianism is that if the total mass of the cosmos results in gravitational equilibrium, then the centre of it all cannot be determined using human physics and its mathematics. Thus geocentricism comes right back into the picture, for it suggests that the earth could be that centre. Under Einstein’s theory, they did admit this. So in fact any of the two theories of universal gravity could also be claimed as the physics for geocentricism, hilarious, yes?
Perhaps the biggest problem for Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation lay in the question ‘how does this attraction work through space?’ Here is a Newtonian asking the question:

‘If space is really empty how is it that the sun and moon exercise influence over the earth? “Technical action at a distance is impossible. A body can only act immediately on what it is in contact with; it must be by the action of contiguous particles – that is, practically, through a continuous medium, that force can be transmitted across space. Radiation is not the only thing the earth feels from the sun; there is in addition its gigantic gravitative pull, a force or tension more than what a million million steel rods, each seventeen feet in diameter, could stand. What mechanism transmits this gigantic force? ----Sir Bertram Windle: The Church and Science, p.59.

But Charles Darwin knows, doesn’t he.

I’ll try to get to the rest of the post later since I’m at work and don’t have the time to really put into a long response but yes, of course things need to be explainable. If they’re not explainable then how am I supposed to form an opinion on anything about whether or not it makes sense?

I’d love to explain how wrong this is but like I said I don’t really have the time to put into it at work right now. Maybe someone else can field it.

Rather than get into the physics of it I’ll ask you to consider the fact that this fact would still not mess up the calculations if the departure point were some planetary body besides Earth.
 
the assumption that redshift was invariably a measure of velocity and distance
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_redshift
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativ…Doppler_effect
false premise on your part, no such assumption exists
The redshift interpretation embodied in Hubble’s law is:
  • dishonest - Edwin Hubble didn’t believe that the law named after him was true…
  • there are other interpretations not shown to be invalid
  • with many posssible causes for the redshift none are acceptable as a single cause under the SM rules.
*"…the ever-expanding model of the first kind seems rather dubious. It cannot be ruled out by the observations, but it suggests a forced interpretation of the data. The disturbing features are all introduced by the recession factors, by the assumption that red-shifts are velocity shifts. The departure from a linear law of red-shifts, the departure from uniform distribution, the curvature necessary to restore homogeneity, the excess material demanded by the curvature, each of these is merely the recession factor in another form.if the recession factor is dropped, if red-shifts are not primarily velocity shifts, the picture is simple and plausible. There is no evidence of expansion and no restriction of the time-scale, no trace of spatial curvature, and no limitation of spatial dimensions." *

“If the redshifts are a Doppler shift…the observations as they stand lead to the anomaly of a closed universe, curiously small and dense, and, it may be added, suspiciously young. On the other hand, if redshifts are not Doppler effects, these anomalies disappear and the region observed appears as a small, homogeneous, but insignificant portion of a universe extended indefinitely in both space and time.”

The quotes above are from ‘The Observational Approach to Cosmology’, Edwin Hubble … surprise! or is it shock?

If Hubble admits that redshift is a Doppler effect, then he is forced to an Earth-centered universe that is closed, small, dense and young.
Why earth-centered? Because Hubble realized what many ignore - that if all objects were receding from our telescopes, the Earth was the center of expansion!
If he opts for the position that redshift is not a Doppler effect, he is left with an infinite universe that does not run by the Big Bang or even GR theory. Here we have one of the greatest astronomers the world has ever known admitting possibilities from his telescopic observations that are completely opposed to the views held today by modern astronomy, including the law named after him! An Earth-centered universe was intolerable for Hubble; he confided to Robert Millikan that redshift should not be interpreted as a Doppler shift, and thus Hubble led the way for the alternative of the steady state theory.

Hubble writes:
Theories may be revised, new information may alter the complexion of things, but meanwhile we face a rather serious dilemma. Some there are who stoutly maintain that the Earth may well be older than the expansion of the universe. [more contradictions from relativity]
If Hubble interprets redshift as a loss of light energy, he has a more plausible model for redshift but one that produces an indefinitely large universe and, most of all, does not allow for the postulates of Special or General Relativity. As he puts it in his book:
  • .…the phenomena of red-shifts whose significance is still uncertain
  • …red-shifts as velocity-shifts … seems to imply a strange and dubious universe, very young and very small …seems to imply that red-shifts are not primarily velocity shifts… the observer is inclined to keep an open mind
  • …Red-shifts are produced either in the nebulae, where the light originates, or in the intervening space through which the light travels.
  • …There seems to be no a priori necessity for a linear law of expansion, a strict proportionality between red-shifts and distance
  • …the familiar interpretation of red-shifts as velocity shifts leads to strange and dubious conclusions; while the unknown, alternative interpretation leads to conclusions that seem plausible and even familiar
  • …The fundamental question is the interpretation of red-shifts
  • … the cosmologist seizes upon the observed red-shifts, interprets them as velocity-shifts
Astronomer Grote Reber points out that Hubble had
grave doubts about redshifts being caused by relative motion.
A better name for the redshift as velocity concept is the anti-Hubble law.

Guy Omer writes:
*E. Hubble has shown that the observational data which he has obtained do not agree satisfactorily with the homogeneous relativistic cosmological models.The model has a short time scale. The present age of the model must be less than 1.2 billion years, about one-third the recent estimation of the age of the earth as an independent body, made by A. Holmes. This is probably the most serious difficulty of the homogeneous model. *
Because of the unrealistic aspects of the homogeneous relativistic model, Hubble proposed an alternate model which would be essentially static and homogeneous and in which the red shift would be produced by some unknown but nonrecessional mechanism.

Redshift as velocity has many anomalies and alternate explanations. The Vigier catalog shows about 2000 stars have blue shifts, not red. Andromeda is a galaxy with a blue shift, allegedly on a collision course with the Milky Way.

…the cosmological, gravitational and Doppler sources for redshift are supported by the data; and because there is no other evidence for the existence of intrinsic red-shift (or any hint as to what physics would produce it).
P. A. M. Dirac has proposed that the physical ‘constants’ are not constant with time but may vary in a systematic manner. This proposal would account for an observed red shift without any actual physical recession.

Varshni’s alternative proposal was that the spectral lines were due to laser action in certain atomic species in the expanding envelope of a star (Astrophysics and Space Science, 37, L1, (1975)).

The red shift could be an intrinsic galactic property, caused by mass or luminosity or by aether density and motion. Each galaxy would have a state specific to itself, like the characteristics of individual humans. We know that each star and galaxy has a unique EM spectrum of emission. Relatively little blurring in the redshift quantization noted by Tifft means any real motions must be small compared to the internal state. Galaxies would then have little relative motion with respect to each other, as they circle in the Earth’s primary aether vortex.

Redshift could be initiated by the aethereal centrifugal phenomenon of a rotating star field. This would provide a new basis for measuring the distance of celestial objects, one wholly different than the system erected upon the Doppler view of the red shift, which could involve a significant remapping of the heavens.

Photons may lose energy with time, perhaps by a gravitational interaction with the matter along their trajectories.

F. Zwicky has shown that ‘gravitational drag’ cannot account for the observed red shift if the relativity theory is valid. Since relativity is rejected, along with all other logically inconsistent theories, aether drag may well be the correct solution to redshifts.

What proof do we offer that any of all these alternatives is true and excludes Hubble’s law? None - the same proof as mainstream science offers.

Halton Arp , an astronomer blacklisted by American observatories and forced to star-gaze in Germany, has been gathering BB discordant redshift evidence since the late 1960’s.
He has found 20 ultra luminous X-ray sources that also have red shifts much higher than the galaxy to which they are physically connected.
So, if astronomy were a logical science, wouldn’t this evidence mean the end of the Big Bang? Independent researchers ask “Shouldn’t astronomy be an adventure in the discovery of truth rather than cutthroat competition for funding?”
Science actually generally requires very little trust. Here is the thing about Astronomy which you may or may not know… it is actually a field where amateurs to this day are making significant contributions.
In facts, yes; in interpretation, no. The demagogues built the Big Bang, not the backyard star gazers.
what annoys scientists and for that matter many others, is when people try to argue that their positions are as scientifically viable as the current mainstream theories without any significant evidence for their position
What annoys many is when scientists try to argue that their positions are scientifically viable without any significant evidence for their position based on the scientific method.
You can do experiments from just about everyhwere else in the solar system. From all of them, it still looks like the Earth is orbiting the Sun (or more precisely their common gravitational center, which happens to be within Sun).
What experiments eliminate the possibility that the Earth is not moving?
From Earth, does it look like the Sun is moving, or not? From the Moon?
Does it look like Earth moves from the Sun? Answer: untestable experiment ==> fails the SM rules.
You realize that the Solar Motion towards the Virgo Supercluster also requires that the Earth be moving towards the Virgo Supercluster at a similar rate.
We realize that MS physics claims the solar system moves toward Virgo; we also realize that the same observation can be interpretated as the microwave stream flowing from Virgo, toward the static Earth. The same line shift in the CMB would be present.
Specific scientific matters per se are not considered as part of the Catholic Deposit of Faith which is placed in the Apostolic era.
How are scientific matters cleanly and clearly separated from religious matters? Or science from theology?
Take evolution and geostatism, for example.
Why is it that only Mercury and Venus show phases like the Moon? If the answer is that it is because that Mercury and Venus orbit the Earth inside the orbit of the Sun and the other planets orbit beyond the Sun, then why aren’t the phases of those planets reversed because the light is coming from behind them?
Mercury and Venus and all the outer planets orbit the Sun;the Sun orbits the Earth… the neo-Tychonian model, consistent with Scripture.
Code:
The Galileo and Casini space probes that, respectively, went to Jupiter and Saturn use the Sun as a gravitational slingshot. Both probes arrived within one second of their planned arrival time which took many years.  If Jupiter is Orbiting the Earth, it simply would not have been where the probes when they got there. Please explain how this is possible.
1- within one second of their arrival? We recall that the flight log mentions mid-course corrections with booster rocket burns along the flight path. Sounds like ‘trial and error’ or ‘dead reckoning’ navigation, but your unstated reference claims the arrival was one second off the planned time.

2- False conditional. Jupiter orbits the Sun, which orbits the Earth.

Since Luke65 has referred directly to me a number of times down this thread I will reply, although I am reluctant to waste my time this way. Discussion with geocentrists like Luke, Sungenis et al is usually pointless, because their knowledge of the science is woefully inadequate to have any sort of sensible discussion.
Well, I didn’t mean to get under your skin, in fact I was trying to avoid saying anything that would raise your hackles. But since you, with your scientific authority, insist that there is “no evidence” for Geocentrism, and to try to answer the various questions and objections that people have, I’ve put together some highlights from Sungenis’ book, and elsewhere, to try to explain the theory and show the supporting evidence. Although, obviously, “evidence” is in the eye of the beholder, so everybody should pray to see with the eyes of faith.

And let me stipulate a couple things up front: all of the evidence you are about to see implies that we are at or near the center of the universe; however, there is always some kind of “alternative explanation” to that, but they are always ad hoc “escapes” to observational evidence that was “unexpected” and so of course unpredicted. But I guarantee readers will be astonished at what they see, and should be even more astonished that they probably never heard about any of this before - I know I was. But first let me take care of some business…
For example, Luke recently initiated but then abandoned claims about the alignment of the multipoles of the CMBA when it became apparent that he did not really have any idea about the difference between galactic and celestial co-ordinates, what the CMBA is, what the significance of the various modes of the anisotropy denote, what the CMBA dipole is, and how to explain the anisotropy such as the first peak at l=220.
I didn’t abandon it - are you kidding?! All these CMB axes “related to the direction of the Earth’s spin axis”, and you think a geocentrist is going to abandon that evidence?! Please!! But we’ll get to that later.
So let’s look at another example of Sungenis’s appalling scholarship. He quotes Walter van der Kamp here, as though Walt is some sort of scientific authority. But Walt is just as unqualified and just as much of a crank as Sungenis is (even ignoring his execrable style of English) - the blind leading the blind.
Anger management? Actually, yes, Van der Kamp was saying that if stellar parallax is actually stellar aberration then the distance would be 1/25th. I’m sorry I missed that point and caused confusion, but fortunately you guys were there to loudly point it out! But Sungenis did make that point (I thought you read the book?). And yes, he doesn’t think it’s correct (obviously - he prefers the neo-Tychonic model which has the parallax), he was just presenting some alternative views on the size of the universe, none of which is he wedded to, and all of this is clear in his book.
Actually, what it tells us is that you and Sungenis have an amazing ignorance of optics - a telesope that showed a visible focal difference between an object 42 million light years away and 5 billion light years away would have to have an aperture more than a million light years in diameter or about 10^22 bigger than the actual aperture of Hubble - how can you and Sungenis make an error of a factor of thousands of billions of billions and then claim that you know what you are talking about? As Bill has pointed out, the Ragazzoni quote is about potential effects of quantum gravity, not about focal effects or gravitational lensing or the Big Bang, and the idea that Raggazoni is the first to “notice” that the Hubble pictures are focused independent of distance is laughable. Sungenis has no idea what he is talking about.
Wow, the thing that most interested me was that we can see everything, at once, “crisp and clear”, in all its glory. But oh boy, mention the Big Bang in conjunction with the word “problem” and you’ll set off another big bang! Easy guys, I didn’t mean to offend your bride! But sorry, it is a problem for the Big Bang - another ad hoc patch will have to be applied, with the hope it doesn’t tear:

Raggazoni: “Evidence of the diffraction pattern from the Hubble Space Telescope observations of SN 1994D and the unresolved appearance of a Hubble Deep Field galaxy at z = 5.34 lead us to put stringent limits on the effects of Planck-scale phenomenology.” (p.342)

(Note: page numbers for Galileo Was Wrong: The Church Was Right, Vol. I, Dr. Robert Sungenis/Dr. Robert Bennett - used by permission. My highlights in color or underlined.)

And from his (first) source:
But the sharpness with which Hubble photographs distant galaxies has scientists pondering [2003] why the pictures are not blurry, as some new calculations suggest they should be, and whether some basic assumptions about space, time and gravity might have to be rethought…
Conventional thinking [2003]… Put simple, Hubble ought to see a pixilation effect when photographing distant objects.
It does not. Hubble pictures are crisp and clear, no matter the distance to the object.

“If time doesn’t become ‘fuzzy’ beneath a Planck interval, this discovery will present problems to several astrophysical and cosmological models, including the Big Bang model of the universe,” Lieu says.
Other theorists say the new results [2003!] must be taken into account, but they say not enough is known about the way light does or should behave below the Planck interval to draw firm conclusions yet.
One challenge for theorists, if the studies by Lieu and Ragazzoni are on track, is that the instant of the Big Bang would involve an infinitely hot and dense condition – something current theory does not allow.
Well, it certainly looks like Raggazoni’s team, along with Lieu’s team, were the first ones to “notice” the problem. And yes, Sungenis makes the points you guys made, only he didn’t leave out the most important part to science, which we have now seen in some detail. And btw, yes, I am ignorant of the optics involved, which is why I asked the question; but Sungenis didn’t say anything about the optics (I thought you read the book?), he just pointed out that it could simply be that that star is not actually 5 billion light years away, and there are plenty of scientists who agree.

By the way, with all your huffing and puffing about “an elementary error on nearly every page”, when are we going to see an actual error?
 
Now, let’s look at some of the voluminous evidence for Geocentrism. To begin with, let’s go back and look at how one Edwin Hubble reacted when he saw “redshifts everywhere”. For those who don’t know, it was originally thought that the redshifts we’re due to the galaxies moving away from us - the Doppler effect. The “escape” was to say that space was expanding: all the galaxies weren’t actually moving away from us, but the space between us was expanding, and so wherever you are in the universe you will see redshifts everywhere.

Hubble: “Such a condition would imply that we occupy a unique position in the universe, analogous, in a sense, to the ancient conception of a central Earth… This hypothesis cannot be disproved, but it is unwelcome and would only be accepted as a last resort in order to save the phenomena. Therefore we disregard this possibility…the unwelcome position of a favored location must be avoided at all costs… such a favored position is intolerable…Therefore, in order to restore homogeneity, and to escape the horror of a unique position…must be compensated by spatial curvature. There seems to be no other escape.” (p.61)

So, there you see a scientist sincerely seeking the truth, going where the evidence leads - it’s just that the space between Hubble and the Truth was expanding faster than he was going! Let’s name the greatest telescope ever after our champion! Yes, the more things change the more they stay the same. In fact, even before Hubble there were many experiments that were supposed to demonstrate the movement of the Earth but failed miserably. This short video (use Internet Explorer) explains it very well. And of course, Hubble and all the other scientists were well aware that these experiments said that the Earth was not moving, which correlated well with what they were observing. But they didn’t care what the evidence was telling them, they just wanted an “intellectually fulfilling” escape - from God. And fortunately, or not, as it were, Einstein had come to the rescue with Relativity…
If the Earth wouldn’t budge, then science had to budge. Consequently, Relativity theory advanced principles and postulates that heretofore would have been considered completely absurd by previous scientists, things such as matter shrinking, clocks slowing down, and mass growing larger; that two people could age at different rates, that space was curved, that light travels at the same speed for all observers (even observers moving at the speed of light); that time and space are one entity, and many other strange and bizarre concepts, all in an effort to answer the numerous experiments that showed the Earth was motionless in space. In that day The Times of London called Einstein’s Relativity "an affront to common sense."164 Indeed it was, and still is.
A Discover magazine issue commemorating the 100th anniversary of Einstein’s 1905 Relativity theory put it even more candidly:
Albert Einstein got it wrong. Not once, not twice, but countless times. He made subtle blunders, he made outright goofs, his oversights were glaring. Error infiltrated every aspect of his thinking. He was wrong about the universe, wrong about its contents, wrong about the inner workings of atoms…In 1911 Einstein predicted [by Relativity] how much the sun’s gravity would deflect nearby starlight and got it wrong by half. He rigged the equations of general relativity to explain why the cosmos was standing still when it wasn’t. Beginning in the mid-1920s, he churned out faulty unified field theories at a prodigious rate. American physicist Wolfgang Pauli complained that Einstein’s ‘tenacious energy guarantees us on the average one theory per annum’ each of which ‘is usually considered by its author to be the "definitive solution.’"
(p.51)
It’s important to understand the facts, and the motivations that are the foundation of modern mainstream science, especially if you’re not ignorant of Scripture. But now let’s fast-forward to the current situation…
As we noted previously, [George] Ellis had once shaken the halls of modern science with what other scientists said was “an earthquake that made Copernicus turn in his grave.” In a lengthy article in New Scientist in 1978, Ellis’ own General Relativity theory forced him to conclude that our galaxy is located near one of “two centers” in the universe that are in an antipodal relation.243 Although Ellis allows that his observations and calculations may be the result of a wrong interpretation, no one has since discovered any such errors, including Ellis. In fact, the then editor of Nature, Paul C. W. Davies, admitted that Ellis’ theory did not contain any logical errors and that in every aspect seems to be in agreement with observed facts. Under the article title “Cosmic Heresy,” he writes:
Often the simplest of observations will have the most profound consequences. It has long been a cornerstone of modern science, to say nothing of man’s cosmic outlook, that the Earth attends a modest star that shines in an undistinguished part of a run-of-the-mill galaxy. Life arose spontaneously and man evolved on this miscellaneous clump of matter and now directs his own destiny without outside help. This cosmic model is supported by the Big-Bang and Expanding Universe concepts, which in turn are buttressed by the simple observation that astronomers see redshifts wherever they look.
These redshifts are due, of course, to matter flying away from us under the impetus of the Big Bang. But redshifts can also arise from the gravitational attraction of mass. If the Earth were at the center of the universe, the attraction of the surrounding mass of stars would also produce redshifts wherever we looked! The argument advanced by George Ellis in this article is more complex than this, but his basic thrust is to put man back into a favored position in the cosmos. His new theory seems quite consistent with our astronomical observations, even though it clashes with the thought that we are godless and making it on our own.” 244
Davies ends his evaluation with the leading question: “Is the Copernican revolution maybe out of date?”
(p.73)
So, an expanding universe and relativistic physics - the escapes - led right back to the original conclusion: that we are at the center of the universe. Let’s see why…
 
The most significant scientific evidence that is challenging Copernican cosmology hails from that gathered by astronomers themselves. In short, they are increasingly confronted with evidence that places Earth in the center of the universe. For example, in the recently published book by Oxford University Press titled The Biggest Bangs: The Mystery of Gamma-Ray Bursts, the Most Violent Explosions in the Universe, author and astrophysicist Jonathan I. Katz of Washington University, a scientist who admits of no partiality toward a geocentric universe, includes a chapter titled The Copernican Dilemma. This title clearly indicates he has found disturbing evidence that puts the Copernican theory in question. Katz’s studies have found that, when all the known gamma-ray bursts are calculated and catalogued, they show Earth to be in the center of it all. He writes:
The uniform distribution of burst arrival directions tells us that the distribution of gamma-ray-burst sources in space is a sphere or spherical shell with us at the center (some other extremely contrived and implausible distributions are also possible). But Copernicus taught us that we are not in a special preferred position in the universe: Earth is not at the center of the solar system, the Sun is not at the center of the galaxy, and so forth. There is no reason to believe we are at the center of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts. If our instruments are sensitive enough to detect bursts at the edge of the spatial distribution, then they should not be isotropic on the sky, contrary to observation; if our instruments are less sensitive, then the N « S’3’2 law should hold, also contrary to observation. That is the Copernican dilemma.
Notice the clear geocentric language the author uses, that is, he sees in his telescope a sphere or spherical shell with us at the center.233 'Isotropic" means that the gamma-ray bursts are the same in all directions from Earth.234 Katz knows the implications of his discovery since he immediately makes reference to the contradictions his findings have against the Copernican theory. Since Katz, being a modern astrophysicist, is a believer in the Big Bang theory and considers Earth as a speck of dust on one of the outer rims of the universe, we see him struggling to free himself from the implications of his evidence as he writes: “There is no reason to believe we are at the center of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts,” but he then admits twice that such a position would be contrary to observation. In other words, he can’t believe his own eyes since obviously he has been so conditioned to see just the opposite…
After citing some experiments designed to answer the Copernican dilemma,236 the author admits:
No longer could astronomers hope that the Copernican dilemma would disappear with improved data. The data were in hand, and their implication inescapable: we are at the center of a spherically symmetric distribution of gamma-ray-burst sources, and this distribution has an outer edge. Beyond this edge the density of burst sources decreases to insignificance.237
The implications of this admission are quite significant. Having no worthy explanation for the isotropic distribution of gamma-ray bursts, the astrophysicist is forced to admit one of the major planks of geocentric cosmology - that Earth is at the center of the forces we see in the universe.
“Inescapable”? Something is not registering. Oh well, mainstream science of course goes with one of those “extremely contrived and implausible” alternative explanations - or they just ignore this.
Astrophysicist Yatendra P. Varshni did extensive work on the spectra of quasars. In 1975 he catalogued 384 quasars between redshift of 0.2 and 3.53 and, amazingly, found that they were formed in 57 separate groupings of concentric spheres around the Earth. He made the following startling conclusion:
…the quasars in the 57 groups…are arranged on 57 spherical shells with the Earth as the center…The cosmological interpretation of the redshift in the spectra of quasars leads to yet another paradoxical result: namely, that the Earth is the center of the universe. 277
Varshni first based his calculations on the spectra of the quasars and then did a second test on their actual redshifts. Both tests produced the same results. Varshni concludes that if his analysis is correct for quasars, then…
The Earth is indeed the center of the Universe. The arrangement of quasars on certain spherical shells is only with respect to the Earth. These shells would disappear if viewed from another galaxy or quasar. This means that the cosmological principle will have to go. Also it implies that a coordinate system fixed to the Earth will be a preferred frame of reference in the Universe. Consequently, both the Special and General Theory of Relativity must be abandoned for cosmological purposes.278

Soon after Varshni’s work, astronomers found over 20,000 quasars, and none of them altered Varshni’s original results. In fact, they refer to it as the “quasar distribution problem.” Of course, it’s only a problem because, as Varshni was so bold to say, it puts a stake into the heart of the cosmological principle, as well as challenging the very tenets of the most prestigious work of science to date - Einstein’s theory of Relativity. The other “problem,” of course, is that since these quasars are distributed around Earth with such specific periodicity, this means that Earth is situated in a quasar-free hole, and that no other such “holes” exist anywhere else in the universe. Moreover, even if one were to dispute Varshni’s findings by positing an alternative explanation for red-shift (e.g… the belief that red-shift does not measure distance), the 57 concentric groupings of quasars will appear nonetheless when put in terms of “phase space,” which, in astrophysics, is a multidimensional view of the sky utilizing Cartesian dimensions coupled with time and momentum to plot positions on a map.

Not only does Varshni’s evidence of symmetrical spheres challenge the prevailing cosmological principle, but as is the case with gamma-ray bursts, another problem with quasars for modern cosmology is that the distances they are assumed to be from Earth in the Einstein universe requires them to put out so much energy in order to match their luminosity (at least 10,000 times the combined energy of Milky Way galaxy), that such energy is impossible to account for under current physical laws.
Apparently Dr. Varshni went with some ad hoc alternative explanation. But notice that these “concentric shells” - these periodicities are not just based on redshift, but also other measurements, those “standard candles”.
 
The above astronomers are not the only ones to discover such quantized and spherical distribution of the heavenly bodies centered on the Earth. In 1970, William G. Tifft, astronomer at Steward Observatory at the University of Arizona examined the redshift of various galaxies and found that they were all distributed at specific spherical distances from Earth, namely, in multiples of 72 km/sec, and a smaller grouping of 36 km/sec.295

Sky and Telescope, which is not by any means a geocentrist periodical, says of Tifft’s results: "Quantized redshifts just don’t fit into this view of the cosmos [the Big Bang view], for they imply concentric shells of galaxies expanding away from a central point, Earth."296

[R]ecognizing the anti-Copernican implications of Tifft’s work for what they really were, in 1991, with the express purpose of overturning Tifft’s results, astronomers Brace N. G. Guthrie and William M. Napier of the Royal University at Edinburgh compared the redshifts from 89 single spiral galaxies. To their astonishment they found a periodicity of 37.2 km/sec, which was very close to Tifft’s recently revised quantum multiple of 36.2 km/sec for this class of galaxies. As Robert Matthews states:
So unbelievable was this phenomenon that, when they first submitted their paper to Astronomy and Astrophysics a referee asked them to repeat their analysis with another set of galaxies. This, Napier and Guthrie did with 117 other galaxies. The same 37.5 km/sec figure thrust itself out of the data: and their paper was accepted.298
As a true scientist, Matthews understands quite well the implications of Napier’s and Guthrie’s exhaustive study. Like Varshni, he spares no words indicating how this evidence systematically overturns all prevailing theories of the cosmos:
Unless Napier and Guthrie and, of course, W.G. Tifft, the discoverer of IT, can be proven wrong, all of modern astronomy and cosmology will be in jeopardy: the expanding universe, the big bang, the presumed age of the universe, not to mention the endless assertions that these are all facts not theories.299

Incidentally, for those who see symbolic significance in numbers, the number of “evenly spaced layers” discovered by each team of astronomers is seven. There are seven evenly-spaced layers in the north direction, and seven evenly-spaced layers to the south.
Apparently Dr. Tifft and the others went with an ad hoc alternative explanation. But two points here: First, these redshifts are not quantized to the Earth, but to the g-center (nucleus) of our Galaxy - the Milky Way. Second, Dr. Arp has thrown a monkey wrench in here regarding redshift, as we’ve already seen. But I’ll come back to both of these points later.

But let me further explain what these concentric spheres and periodicities mean. The Big Bang theory is described as a universe that is like an expanding balloon, with all the bodies on the skin of the balloon with nothing inside the balloon - so there is no center in the universe. And as the universe expands the bodies all spread further apart - so you would see redshifts everywhere regardless of where you are. However, that does not explain how these redshifts and other characteristics could appear in incremental groups (quantized), which imply concentric shells, because as Varshni said, “These shells would disappear if viewed from another galaxy or quasar.” If you imagine concentric circles around one spot on this balloon, then you can see why you wouldn’t see them from any other location. However, if the universe is like a balloon within a balloon within a balloon, etc., and we are at the center, then we would see these concentric spheres around us - and we do! The evidence is consistent with a geocentric universe, but not with the center-less and random Big Bang universe.
Added to this evidence is the astonishing fact that the most distant galaxies (e.g., those said to be 10 billion light years away from Earth) look very much the same as the galaxies very close to us.301 This creates an intractable problem for current cosmology. The most distant galaxies should logically appear 9-10 billion years younger in their formation, since their light took that long to arrive on Earth. One could possibly explain this discrepancy by asserting that galaxies mature very fast and level off after a billion years, but that, of course, would not only be an ad hoc answer, it would conflict with other accepted understandings of current cosmology regarding galaxies.

The importance of the foregoing evidence regarding the periodic distribution of galaxies is brought out when contrasted to its opposite. As Harold Slusher puts it:
If the distribution of galaxies is homogeneous, then doubling the distance should increase the galaxy count eightfold: tripling it should produce a galaxy count 27 times as large. Actual counts of galaxies show a rate substantially less than this. If allowed to stand without correction, this feature of the galaxy counts implies a thinning out with distance in all directions, and that we are at the very center of the highest concentration of matter in the universe…This would argue that we are at the center of the universe.
When galaxy counts are adjusted for dimming effects, it appears that the number of galaxies per unit volume of space increases with distance. From this we still appear to be at the center of the universe, but now it coincides with the point of least concentration of matter.305
(p.89)
How many lines of evidence do we need? There are more. And we haven’t even gotten to the CMB yet! But let me interrupt, because we already saw that the “Earth is situated in a quasar-free hole”. And now we see that the Earth is at “the point of least concentration of matter”. Also, Sungenis mentions Stephen Hawking commenting on radio wave data saying: “This could mean that we are at the center of a great region in the universe in which the sources are fewer than elsewhere.” (p.66) (Don’t worry, he has an alternative explanation.) And now there’s a new theory: Is Earth at the heart of a giant cosmic void? - which does away with the need to invoke dark energy, and more…
 
Sungenis comments:
In this model, the universe has been expanding since the Big Bang 13.5 billion years ago. Based on both the Copernican and Einsteinian principles, a grid to measure the universe’s expansion was invented by three physicists, which became known as the “Friedmann-Walker-Robertson (FRW) metric,” but the expansion is only possible, as Clifton, et al say,
…if a fraction of r is in the form of a smoothly distributed and gravitationally repulsive exotic substance, often referred to as Dark Energy. The existence of such an unusual substance is unexpected, and requires previously unimagined amounts of fine-tuning in order to reproduce the observations. Nonetheless, dark energy has been incorporated into the standard cosmological model, known as LCDM.
Clifton then shows that the tweaking required to get the Dark Energy model working is wholly unnecessary if one simply rejects the first principle of cosmology, the Copernican principle:
An alternative to admitting the existence of dark energy is to review the postulates that necessitate its introduction. In particular, it has been proposed that the SNe observations could be accounted for without dark energy if our local environment were emptier than the surrounding Universe, i.e., if we were to live in a void. This explanation for the apparent acceleration does not invoke any exotic substances, extra dimensions, or modifications to gravity - but it does require a rejection of the Copernican Principle. We would be required to live near the center of a spherically symmetric under-density, on a scale of the same order of magnitude as the observable Universe. Such a situation would have profound consequences for the interpretation of all cosmological observations, and would ultimately mean that we could not infer the properties of the Universe at large from what we observe locally.

New Scientist:]
This startling possibility can be accommodated by the standard cosmological equations, but only at a price. That price is introducing dark energy - an unseen energy pervading space that overwhelms gravity and drives an accelerating expansion. Dark Energy is problematic. No one really knows what it is. We can make an educated guess, and use quantum theory to estimate how much of it there might be, but then we overshoot by an astounding factor of 10^120. That is grounds enough, says George Ellis…to take a hard look at our assumptions about the universe and our place in it. “If we analyse the supernova data by assuming the Copernican principle is correct and get out something unphysical, I think we should start questioning the Copernican principle…. Whatever our theoretical predilections, they will in the end have to give way to the observational evidence.”
So what would it mean if…the outcome were that the Copernican principle is wrong? It would certainly require a seismic reassessment of what we know about the universe….If the Copernican Principle fails, all that goes that [the Big Bang] goes out the window too….Cosmology would be back at the drawing board. If we are in a void, answering how we came to be in such a privileged spot in the universe would be even trickier.
Actually, it’s not really that “tricky.” As Robert Caldwell of Dartmouth College said in remarking on the crossroads that modern cosmology finds itself: “It would be great if there were someone out there who could look back at us and tell us if we’re in a void.” The truth is, Someone has already told us that the Earth was in a privileged spot, many years ago in a book, oddly enough, called Genesis, but that is a subject treated in Volume II of Galileo Was Wrong: The Church Was Right.

🙂 Okay, back to the periodicities, because this next part I never heard of before, and it blew me away!
That the precise and characteristic periodicity of gamma-rays, quasars, BL Lacs, X-ray clusters, and galaxies are not merely some fluke of nature is supported by the fact that the orbits of the planets in our own region of the sky use the same ratios. One of Arp’s students, Jess Artem, initiated this discovery when he showed in 1990 that the Titius-Bode Law of planetary distances matches the preferred redshift of quasars, since both are based on the ratio 1:1.23. 319 Arp himself discovered that, after obtaining the most modern estimates of planetary masses, their ratios fell in the 1.23 factor. 320 The chance of this occurring by accident is less then 1 in 1300. 321
This unique ratio also extends to the micro-world, since it has been shown that the electron orbits in the Bohr model of the atom are based on the factor of 1.23. Interestingly enough, in 1916 Arnold Sommerfeld modified Bohr’s circular orbits to show that electrons were more stable in elliptical orbits, since they could move inwardly and outwardly without radiating or absorbing energy. Sommerfeld’s work also led to the discovery that electrons spin while in orbit. 322 These discoveries, of course, have an uncanny resemblance to the orbits of the planets, as well as the spin some of them possess.
St. Augustine: “These works are recorded to have been completed in six days (the same day being six times repeated), because six is a perfect number—not because God required a protracted time, as if He could not at once create all things, which then should mark the course of time by the movements proper to them, but because the perfection of the works was signified by the number six. For the number six is the first which is made up of its own parts, i.e., of its sixth, third, and half, which are respectively one, two, and three, and which make a total of six… So much I have thought fit to state for the sake of illustrating the perfection of the number six, which is, as I said, the first which is exactly made up of its own parts added together; and in this number of days God finished His work. And, therefore, we must not despise the science of numbers, which, in many passages of holy Scripture, is found to be of eminent service to the careful interpreter. Neither has it been without reason numbered among God’s praises, You have ordered all things in number [1], and measure [2], and weight [3].” [Wisdom 11:20] (City of God, XI, 30)

The Lord has done this and it is wonderful in our eyes! And St. Augustine never ceases to amaze me with his prophetic words - the Holy Spirit was powerful in him!
 
On the Cosmic Microwave Background:

“Our entire observable universe is inside this sphere of radius 13.3 billion light-years, with us at the center.” - Max Tegmark
Tegmark, even though he is an avowed Big Bang cosmologist, said something that probably even he didn’t realize at the time. In remarking on the giant sphere the probe produced, he noted, "Our entire observable universe is inside this sphere of radius 13.3 billion light-years, with us at the center."259 Added to this was the interpretation of his wife, Angelica de Oliveira-Costa, who stated that the cosmic quadrupole and octopole are both very planar and aligned, which according to the CERN correspondent reporting the interview means that the points “happen to fall on a great circle on the sky,” and we are in the center of that great circle.260 In their original paper, Tegmark and Oliveira-Costa noted that "the quadrupole…and the octopole have almost all their power perpendicular to a common axis in space, as if some process has suppressed large scale power in the direction of the axis."261 From a geocentric perspective, this evidence would naturally be understood as defining the axis upon which the universe rotates. Tegmark, et al., allow such an interpretation, since they add:
How significant is this quadrupole-octopole alignment? As a simple definition of preferred axis [it] denotes the spherical harmonic coefficients of the map in a rotated coordinate system… if the CMB is an isotropic Gaussian random field, then a chance alignment this good requires a 1-in-62 fluke.262
Perhaps just as important is the following remark by the Tegmark team:
What does this all mean?..it is difficult not to be intrigued by the similarities [of our findings] with what is expected in some non-standard * models, for instance, ones involving a flat “small Universe” with a compact topology and one of the three dimensions being relatively small.263
This “non-standard…flat small Universe with compact topology,” and, as noted above, the one with the “preferred axis” with odds of “l-in-62 of being a fluke,” is precisely the one advocated by models of geocentric cosmology.
In a recent publication, the team of Dominik Schwarz, Glenn Starkman, et al., discovered that:
The large-angle correlations of the cosmic microwave background exhibit several statistically significant anomalies compared to the standard inflationary cosmology …the quadrupole-octopole correlation is excluded from being a chance occurrence in a gaussian random statistically isotropic sky at >99.87%… The correlation of the normals with the ecliptic poles
suggest an unknown source or sink of CMB radiation or an unrecognized systematic. If it is a physical sources or sink in the inner solar system it would cause an annual modulation in the time-ordered data…Physical correlation of the CMB with the equinoxes is difficult to imagine, since the WMAP satellite has no knowledge of the inclination of the Earth’s spin axis.270

Schwarz and Starkman then refer to the study of Tegmark and Oliveira-Costa we covered above, noting that the “preferred axes of the quadrupole modes…and the octopole modes…were remarkably closely aligned” (i.e., geocentric), and they add the study of Hans Kristian Eriksen in 2003 at the University of Oslo, citing that:
What they found contradicted the standard inflationary cosmology - the hemispheres often had very different amounts of power. But what was most surprising was that the pair of hemispheres that were the most different were the ones lying above and below the ecliptic, the plane of the earth’s orbit around the sun. This result was the first sign that the CMB fluctuations, which were supposed to be cosmological in origin…have a solar system signal in them - that is, a type of observational artifact.273

The significance of Eriksen’s finding may go over the heads of most people not familiar with astrophysical language, but the simple interpretation is that all the radiation in the universe, whether it is symmetric or asymmetric, is centered around the Earth (although because Eriksen is a Copernican he refers to it as “the plane of the earth’s orbit around the sun”). This is confirmed when Schwarz. et al., state later: “Within that plane, they sit unexpectedly close to the equinoxes - the two points on the sky where the projection of the earth’s equator onto the sky crosses the ecliptic.” In other words, all the data show that, as far out as our telescopes can see, space is oriented geocentrically. What are the chances that this could happen by accident? The team of Copernicans has to admit that the “combined chance probability is certainly less than one in 10,000.” So upsetting is this evidence to the scientific status quo that another magazine, New Scientist, labeled the same universal orientation around Earth’s equatorial plane as, “THE AXIS OF EVIL,” since this geocentric picture virtually destroys its cherished Copernican principle.274

(p.80)
The straightforward geometrical explanation of the power spectrum implies that we live in a finite space that is smaller
than we currently observe. There is also evidence that the shape of the spectrum might reflect local conditions because there are differences between northern and southern galactic hemispheres and the largest fluctuations are in the solar system plane.
From Dr Max Tegmark, of the University of Pennsylvania, CMB analyst:
The entire observable Universe is inside this sphere, with us at the center of it…We found something very bizarre; there is some extra, so far unexplained structure in the Cosmic Microwave Background… We had expected that the microwave background would be truly isotropic, with no preferred direction in space but that may not be the case. The octopole and quadropole components are arranged in a straight line across the sky, along a kind of cosmic equator. That’s weird… We don’t think this is due to foreground contamination. It could be telling us something about the shape of space on the largest scales. We did not expect this and cannot yet explain it.

Interpretation:

The undersized multipoles for / < 4 (low multipole cutoff) indicate that the universe is cut-off at large distances, which means a cosmos that is finite in space! It cannot be bigger than now observed in the Cosmic Microwave Background sky.

(p.499)
 
An analogy with a musical instrument can be helpful: If you hit a drum, you hear many tones at the same time - a primary tone as well as many overtones, or “harmonics.” The inflation model predicts that all the overtones in the CMB should be equally intense, but instead “we’re missing the bass,” Dr. Starkman said. “And what bass there is seems to be not generated by the universe, but by something local.”
Now here is a strange thing, why should the truly fundamental note be sounded by the solar system? Is that not fantastically coincidental, that it should sound the “bass note”? That fits right in with geocentricity, of course, since the expansion of the universe or the “stretching,” as God calls it, was centered on the earth. So the “base note” should be centered on the earth; and that is to what Starkman referred.
Glenn Starkman: “None of us believe that the universe knows about the solar system, or that the solar system knows about the universe.” (p.81)

Neither do we! But the Demiurge knows it all. 🙂

Craig Hogan: “The precise directional coincidences with solar system alignments are certainly thought-provoking. It may look like a smoking gun…but I’m going with the fluke hypothesis for now.” (p.81)

Of course. It’s just one more incredible coincidence the unbeliever has to believe in. You might as well go all in!

More CMB problems for the Big Bang:

Joseph Silk: “Studies of the cosmic background radiation have confirmed the isotropy of the radiation, or its complete uniformity in all directions. If the universe possesses a center, we must be very close to it… otherwise, excessive observable anisotropy in the radiation intensity would be produced, and we would detect more radiation from one direction than from the opposite direction.” (p.72)

Robert Bennett: “Big Bang interpretation notwithstanding, our speed relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background is nowhere near the speed of light, and so we must be very close to the expansion center. Even the Big Bang shows the universe to be geocentric!” (p.491)

Yukio Tomozawa: “In the Friedman universe [standard Big Bang]… The observation of the cmb dipole excludes the possibility of a cosmology without center. Thus, there has to be a center for the expansion of the universe, since a cmb dipole has been observed for the solar system.” (source)

Now, Alec, our resident scientist, thinks that Dr. Tomozawa is wrong; but I’ll leave that to them to debate, although I was impressed with Tomozawa’s “three proofs”. But he pointed out that Tomozawa puts the center 75 million light years from Earth, which is odd considering all the observational evidence we have. But what scale is that on? Or, to the point, is the Earth within his margin for error? If it is then he might be right. 🙂 But ironically enough, Tomozawa has the truth looking him in the face in his own Theorem: “there has to be a center for the expansion of the universe, since a cmb dipole has been observed for the solar system.”

And yet another CMB problem for the Big Bang, but this one could be fatal (for all models):
The apparent absence of shadows where shadows were expected to be is raising new questions about the faint glow of microwave radiation once hailed as proof that the universe was created by a “Big Bang.” In a finding sure to cause controversy, scientists at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) found a lack of evidence of shadows from “nearby” clusters of galaxies using new, highly accurate measurements of the cosmic microwave background.
A team of UAH scientists led by Dr. Richard Lieu, a professor of physics, used data from NASA’s Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) to scan the cosmic microwave background for shadows caused by 31 clusters of galaxies.
“These shadows are a well-known thing that has been predicted for years,” said Lieu. "This is the only direct method of determining the distance to the origin of the cosmic microwave background. Up to now, all the evidence that it originated from as far back in time as the Big Bang fireball has been circumstantial.
“If you see a shadow, however, it means the radiation comes from behind the cluster. If you don’t see a shadow, then you have something of a problem. Among the 31 clusters that we studied, some show a shadow effect and others do not.”

Taken together, the data shows a shadow effect about one-fourth of what was predicted - an amount roughly equal in strength to natural variations previously seen in the microwave background across the entire sky.
“Either it (the microwave background) isn’t coming from behind the clusters, which means the Big Bang is blown away, or… there is something else going on,” said Lieu.
Big Bang “blown away”? You can’t kill the Big Bang! Do you know how many times the Big Bang has been blown away, only to come right back? They oughtta make a movie about it! Oh wait, I think they did… 😃
 
In addition to all the evidence we’ve seen relating to the Earth, the sun, and the Milky Way, there are some other intriguing lines of evidence relating to our Galaxy. It turns out that our Galaxy has a similar spin axis to the majority of spiral galaxies - the Supergalactic axis. And now, physicist Michael Longo has detected a “preferred handedness” for spiral galaxies, that is, a majority of spiral galaxies spin in the same direction - including the Milky Way. But it gets more interesting than that…

“In this article I extend an earlier study of spiral galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to investigate whether the universe has an overall handedness… The axis of the dipole asymmetry lies at approx. (l, b) =(32d,69d), roughly along that of our Galaxy and close to the so-called “Axis of Evil”.” (source)

So we see relationships between our Galaxy’s spin axis and spin direction with a majority of other spiral galaxies, along with Dr. Longo’s axis for that orientation, and also the CMB’s Axis of Evil, which Longo thinks can all be neatly tied together…

“The spins of the majority of spiral galaxies and that of our own Galaxy appear to be aligned along the cosmic magnetic field.” (source)

“A magnetic field would naturally orient the spiral galaxies.” (source)

A “cosmic magnetic field”? How do you get a universal magnetic field? How do you get a universal electromagnetic field? :newidea:

Electric Universe! I’ll get back to that.

But now that we’ve seen that scientific evidence for a geocentric universe not only exists, but in fact is overwhelming; and that the universe looks nothing like the randomness of the Big Bang, but is precisely tuned and symmetrical around Earth, let me show some of the key features of the modern geocentric model (“geocentricity”) that hopefully will answer some of the other issues raised…
Sungenis (and Luke in following him) claims that the universe rotates around the earth like a gyroscope, “stabilising the earth at the centre”. This is a hopelessly wrong analogy because a gyroscope rotor is a single rigidly connected body, whereas the universe consists of a large number of independent masses, each of which would move according to the same laws of motion that we see in planetary and galactic rotation - ie they would orbit according to the rotation curves derived from Newtonian mechanics. The consequence of this would be rotational periods which varied depending on the distance of the object from the earth. But the diurnal apparent rotation of the stars and galaxies in the sky is not a function of distance, indicating that it is not they that are rotating (at least not according to Newton’s laws of motion), but the earth with respect to the metric.
As you know, we’re talking about a Planck particle medium of space (ether) - the “firmament”, as God told us - which is far more “rigid” than anything else in the universe. So the gyroscope analogy is an excellent one: not only does it spin on a point that doesn’t spin, but where it’s diameter is small it spins slow, and where the diameter is large it spins fast - because it spins as a whole body. In the same way, the sphere of the universe spins as a whole rigid body, carrying along all the bodies within it; so they will be in the same place every 24 hours regardless of how far they are from the center - how large the diameter of their orbit is - except for slight variations like the wobble (precession), and their movement in their own systems.

On the ether:
What Einstein could not find, the biblical geocentric universe possesses. The “rigid body” is its foundation. The firmament of Genesis 1:6-9, by the very definition of the Hebrew word, is “rigid.” Its rigidity is necessary to form and maintain anything as large as our universe, and that is precisely why it was created as early as the Second Day. All of the above discoveries of modern science concerning the infinitesimal world of Planck particles and its attending phenomena can be synthesized into an ingenious and fascinating model of geocentrism. In fact, this model shows that the Planck dimensions of physics not only constitute the fundamental fabric of space, they are the ingredients essential to make a universe function. Gerardus Bouw, probably the premier geocentric scientist today, has engineered such a model. Basically Bouw argues that the “fundamental constants” of physics (e.g., gravity, electric charges, position, time, temperature, entropy) can only be joined together in a limited number of ways in order that no one constant conflicts with the others. Since there is a plurality of fundamental constants, a least common denominator is needed to join them all together… The most crucial constants that need to be joined together are: Planck’s constant, Boltzmann’s constant, the speed of light, and the gravitational constant.841 As Bouw puts it:
As we proceed to smaller and smaller scales nothing interesting seems to be happening until we get to a scale of about 10^-33 cm. At that size called a Planck length, fascinating things happen…we find that the warp and woof of heaven comes into focus. Physics attempts to derive relationships between the different properties of objects. Such relationships typically involve certain constants: values which are generally assumed not to change over time. The speed of light is such a constant. So is the gravitational constant. It turns out that there are relationships among these constants themselves, and those relationships all express themselves to specifics at the Planck length. For example, the Planck length itself, Z, relates Planck’s constant (a unit of angular momentum or spin energy), h, the speed of light c, and the gravitational constant G to give a length of 1.616 x 10^-33 cm.842
Modern science is not certain as to the meaning of these numbers, but the most popular explanation at present is that they signify particles which pop into existence, exist for about 10^-44 seconds, and then pop out of existence again. These particles, called Planck particles, form the basis for various cosmological theories such as strings, Superstrings, 10-dimensional space, and so on. So it seems that we are engulfed in a sea of Planck particles. The particles can be viewed as constituting a pervasive medium which acts like an ideal fluid (meaning that there is no friction). The density, P, of that fluid is an astounding 3.6 x 10^93 g/cm3…If this doesn’t qualify for the name “firmament,” then what does?844
(p.277)
 
A substance of such a high density as the firmament has some interesting properties. One would think, for example, that it would be impossible to move in such a medium, just as one could not move if encased in iron. Normally this is true, but the deBroglie wavelengths of nuclear particles are so long compared to that of the Planck particles that the firmament is transparent to them. This is similar to why light can travel through a “dense” medium such as glass instead of being stopped cold on impact. Bouw concludes:
The advantage of the firmamental model is that it can easily account for a number of experimental observations which are harder to explain heliocentrically. These include the Sagnac effect, Faraday disk-generator paradox, Earth’s night-time electric field, and ball lightning. And so both heliocentrically-based quantum mechanics and geocentrically-based firmamental mechanics explain the same phenomena at the Planck scale, albeit with different philosophical assumptions: one assumes that space is filled, the other that space is empty.845
(p.278)
As Bouw describes it in modern terms:
In short, this means that the firmament is an underlying medium. The atoms and galaxies of our universe are merely tiny, insignificant disturbances in the firmament. Because of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle matter is totally unaware of the firmament’s existence. If it were not for Scripture, we would be equally unaware of it…The firmament which God created on the second day is thus an extremely massive structure. Its properties are manifold and in a very literal sense, it determines the very physics of the universe…From the perspective of modern science, the firmament… is a very viable scientific option. It is a super-dense, created medium which mimics a plenum. It does so by both keeping absolute position and time indeterminate within it (Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle), as well as allowing only wave motions and disallowing absolutely straight line motion…It reacts instantly to any changes within it (in about 10^-78 seconds). Material objects can only become vaguely aware of its existence on extremely large scales (of the order of the size of the universe) and on extremely small scales (of the order of sub-nuclear particles). None of these phenomena are new, all have-been noted before in the scientific literature.849
(p.280)
Notice the very unusual characteristics of a Planck particle field. It is the most rigid material in existence but at the same time it can be “frictionless”, but “allowing only wave motions and disallowing absolutely straight line motion”. And lo! Look at all the bodies in the ether of space: they don’t move in straight lines but in wave motions - clue!! Is there a mainstream scientist that can see? This also explains why electrons travel in wave motion, because the ether pervades all space, including inside the atom. And, as you will see, any physics that doesn’t start with Planck particles will never be able to explain atomic particles.

But first a word about the great St. Hildegard. She was a mystic - a prophet, among other things - who had visions about how the universe operates. She told us some amazing things that modern science is confirming. This is covered in Volume II of Galileo Was Wrong, which I just read. One of the things she said is that the other planets orbit the sun - centuries before Copernicus and Tycho! - when Ptolemy reigned supreme. She also said that if the firmament didn’t rotate then it would “melt”, which is exactly right - putting a fluid into motion is the only way to make it rigid, as scientists like Sir Oliver Lodge realized about the ether more than a century ago. And Hildegard gave us much more revealing information, some of which you will see here.
Our present knowledge of science may also confirm what Hildegard’s vision reveals about the firmament. Very special factors are necessary to have such a versatile and undetectable medium permeate the entire universe. Notably, this subject is approached, albeit indirectly, by one of the world’s most respected physicists, John A. Wheeler, professor emeritus of Princeton University and co-author of the most comprehensive book written on gravitation to date. In an article he wrote with C. M. Patton titled: "Is Physics Legislated by Cosmology?’’…Wheeler states:
Among all the great developments in physics since World War II, there has been no more impressive advance in theory than the analysis of the fluctuations that take place all the time and everywhere in the electromagnetic field. There has been no more brilliant triumph of experimental physics than the precision measurement of the effect of these fluctuations on the energy levels of the hydrogen atom… These developments tell us immediately that the electron in its travels in a hydrogenic atom is subject not only to the field Ze/r of the nucleus, but also to a fluctuation field that has nothing directly to do with the atom, being a property of all space.923
In other words, the electron not only has to interact with the nucleus, but with the field of space between the nucleus and the electron, yet a field that “has nothing to do with the atom” itself, but is a property of the independent existence of something other than the atom. So, according to Wheeler, we have protons, neutrons, electrons and an undefined but experimentally proven “field” which constitutes the fabric “of all space.” We will see shortly that Wheeler’s explanation is precisely what Hildegard’s visions tell us of the constitution of the universe and the physical cause for gravity, nearly one thousand years before “the great developments in physics since World War II”!

Wheeler goes on to explain the dimensions and magnitude of this "field…of all space…is the Planck length,’'925 which is what we have been arguing as one of the basic constituents and dimensions of the firmament’s granularity. He continues:
…The density of mass-energy associated with a particle… is as unimportant compared to the calculated effective density of mass-energy of vacuum fluctuations down to the Planck scale of lengths… 10^94 g/cm3…as the density of a cloud, ~10^-6 g/cm3, is unimportant compared to the density of the sky, ~10^-3 g/cm3…the proper starting point in dealing with physics…is the sky, not the cloud…no theory of particles that deals only with particles will ever explain particles.928
(Vol.II, p.308)
“By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.” (Hebrews 11:3)
 
Arp’s intrinsic redshift is “questionable if not dubious” but Arp has “falsified the standard redshift formula”? You’re not making sense.
It doesn’t make sense to you? Join the club! But maybe I should have been more specific. It’s their theory on the cause of the redshifts that I’m skeptical about. But I’d like to hear the opinion of some friendly scientists like Gerardus Bouw, or especially the Catholic, Robert Bennett, since after all we’re talking about creatio ex nihilo here - I believe that is what we are witnessing, as it occurred on Day 4 on Earth. But of course I agree with Arp that a majority of redshift is related to the age of the object. How it’s related I’m not sure, but that’s no reason to deny what I see. I see high redshift quasars physically connected to low redshift galaxies; quasars in front of galaxies with much lower redshifts; quasars in pairs on either side of galaxies; more than two quasars around galaxies; other nebulae like BL Lac objects around galaxies; and of course galaxies around galaxies forming clusters, sometimes with discordant redshifts. Do you all see a pattern here?!

For those who don’t know, their theory is that quasars are ejected from the nuclei of active galaxies and then unfurl to become new galaxies - galaxy creation. And that is the reason we see quasars and other nebulae in the vicinity of mature galaxies, and why galaxies are usually in clusters, with large voids of space in between.

These pictures illustrate the age related redshift theory very well:

haltonarp.com/articles/research_with_Fred (Hoyle - interesting!)
http://haltonarp.com/articles/research_with_Fred/illustrations/figure_1_b.jpg http://haltonarp.com/articles/research_with_Fred/illustrations/figure_1_a.jpg

Notice that the mature galaxy (NGC7603), has the lowest redshift. The next oldest “galaxy”, Object 1, has the next lowest redshift, although twice as high as the galaxy it was ejected from. Object 3 (“quasar-like”) is the youngest, having been ejected the most recently, and has the highest redshift. And Object 2 is the next youngest, with the second highest redshift. Also notice the filamentary bridge has the same redshift as the filaments around the galaxy, and almost the same as the galaxy. And that is because the quasars dragged the filaments from the galaxy with them when they were ejected. And notice that all 3 objects are in the middle of the filamentary bridge (more evidence against the fluke hypothesis). And the rapid drop in redshifts you see from Object 3 to Object 1 is predicted by Arp et al.

And, from the article:
An even more recent discovery supports this kind of ejection origin for quasars. The large, X-ray and hydrogen ejecting galaxy NGC 3628, has been shown to contain two quasars of z = .995 and z = 2.15 in an X-ray filament which emerges directly from the nucleus of the galaxy. (See Arp, Burbidge, E.M. Chu et al 2002.)
And that is also exactly as Arp predicts. Two quasars, which is common, with high redshifts right in front of the nucleus of an active galaxy, where they were recently ejected from.

And one more point here, Arp, et al., theorize that the nuclei of galaxies are not black holes but white holes; and this is also supported by the observational evidence. We were told that nothing but nothing can escape the gravity of a black hole - not even light! Then all of a sudden we see all this stuff coming out of these “black holes”, so scientists, like Stephen Hawking, said they rechecked their calculators and lo! Stuff can come out of black holes after all! How convenieeent! And how fitting that mainstream science should call what is white, black! 😃 Well, whatever you call them, the fact is matter and energy are coming out of them, so I’ll go with “white holes”.

But the saddest part of all of this is that Halton Arp, arguably the greatest astronomer of our time, was blacklisted by mainstream science in America: they wouldn’t give him time on the big telescopes, and he couldn’t get published in mainstream journals; and all because he demonstrated that the observational evidence contradicts the Big Bang theory. So he was “exiled” to Germany, although I hear he has a nice papal villa there. 😉

Halton Arp: “If the cause of these redshifts is misunderstood, then distances can be wrong by factors of 10 to 100, and luminosities and masses will be wrong by factors up to 10,000. We would have a totally erroneous picture of extragalactic space, and be faced with one of the most embarrassing boondoggles in our intellectual history.” (p.336)

“Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?” (1 Cor. 1:20)
 
If, as Arp has claimed, that no such constant exists, then attempts to use Standard Candles* should have failed miserably.
You assume too much. 🙂 I will now harmonize all of the observational evidence that I know of - including the standard candles with Arp’s theory! I had this basic theory, which you are about to see, 3 years ago after studying various cosmologies; especially Russell Humphreys’ white hole cosmology, which harmonizes well with Arp’s observations, which harmonizes well with the Electric Universe theory. And later, thanks to Robert Sungenis, I joined this theory to Geocentrism, which is founded on Divine Revelation; and certain private revelations have also been helpful, as you’ll see…

In the beginning, God created the universe - space and water. He took a small bit of the water to make the Earth and separated it from the rest of the water (Gen. 1:6-9, c.f. 2 Pet. 3:5). Then, on Day 4, God created the solar system; and, by extrapolation, we can assume that God used the water to create all the other bodies in the universe, including the solar system.

Evidence for that theory comes from Humphreys, who accurately predicted (yes, beforehand!) the strength of the magnetic fields of the planets Uranus and Neptune, which was confirmed by Voyager. His model for magnetic fields is a free-decay, which is what happens to electromagnetic fields when they don’t have an energy source: they decay at an exponential rate. And his model is based on a 6,000 year old solar system, with all the bodies being originally made from water. Meanwhile, mainstream science made their prediction based on their hilarious Dynamo model - which magically regenerates magnetic fields so they can last the billions of years mainstream science needs - and they overshot by 100,000 fold! No regeneration! But, needless to say, the failed Dynamo model remains the “accepted theory”, while Humphreys’ smashingly successful free-decay model is ignored. These are facts that can be easily discovered.

Now, according to St. Hildegard, God created 16 massive stars - let’s call them “superstars” - and placed them around the perimeter of the universe (keep in mind the universe is much smaller at this point - according to Humphreys’ theory, about the size of our Galaxy). This is very interesting because she said that they were equally spaced on one plane, not throughout the whole sphere. These superstars are no doubt on the plane of our solar system - and the “cosmic equator”! Furthermore, she said that these superstars feed energy to our sun - the Electric Universe! Indeed, the Electric Universe theory postulates that stars are electrically powered - not nuclear generators - and they are all on a universal “electrical grid”. But they don’t know where the electrical energy came from - Hildegard does! And now so do we.

And Hildegard tells us that the perimeter of the universe is a spherical layer of “fire”…
In December 1998 a team of international cosmologists sent up the BOOMERANG (Balloon Observation of Millimetric Extragalactic Radiation and Geophysics) telescope over Antarctica for ten days.876 It took pictures of the cosmic microwave background radiation as it would appear at the edge of the universe. The picture shows what looks like a mass of fire or plasma, evenly dispersed throughout the universe.

A similar finding was found by the Goddard Space Flight Center headed by Alexander Kashlinsky. Discovering the same “strange background glow” from having “peered all the way to the most remote objects in the universe.” Discover writes:
Kashlinsky and his team at Goddard examined a deep-exposure image of a patch of sky taken by NASA’s orbiting Spitzer Space Telescope and then subtracted the light from all the evident stars and galaxies. What was left was a dim background glow never seen before…“We see a signal that cannot be explained by stellar populations that we know,” Kashlinsky says.879
(GWW, Vol. II, p.293)
I skipped over the part about the BOOMERANG demolishing Big Bang predictions, but as you can see, our predictions glow!

So, after God created the solar system, He created our Galaxy. And then, the Milky Way “birthed” new galaxies - ejecting quasars symmetrically around it; and then those galaxies birthed new galaxies, and so and so on - all the while God was “stretching out the heavens”. For as the whole human race came from one man, so too the whole race of galaxies came from one galaxy - ours! This is the key! This explains why all these redshifts are quantized to the nucleus of our Galaxy: because they are in concentric shells around their origin! The redshifts are not distance-related, they are age-related; but these bodies were born at the same time - incrementally (concentric shells) and symmetrically around our Galaxy. And this explains why the standard candles usually work - why other lines of evidence tell us these objects are on concentric shells around us: because most of the ages correspond with their distance due to their symmetrical creation, although the accepted distance scale would be wrong. And the young galaxies (incl. quasars) we see were simply the last ones to be ejected from their parent galaxy. And this theory might also explain why the majority of other spiral galaxies share a similar axis with our Galaxy, and a preferred handedness. And speaking of concentric shells…

Blessed Sr. Anne Catherine Emmerich: (Creation) “I saw spreading out before me a boundless, resplendent space, above which floated a globe of light shining like a sun. I felt that It was the Unity of the Trinity. In my own mind, I named It the ONE VOICE, and I watched It producing Its effects. Below the globe of light arose concentric circles of radiant choirs of spirits, wondrously bright and strong and beautiful. This second world of light floated like a sun under that higher Sun.”

For those who know Christian theology, stars are symbolic for angels (Rev. 1:20). Sr. Emmerich saw concentric spheres (presumably - “a sun”) of angels, just as we see concentric spheres of stars!

Halton Arp: “…perhaps all the extragalactic matter in the universe unfolded first from a few active centres and then further from secondary and perhaps even tertiary centres. This concept would be worth investigating with an open mind.” (source)

:newidea: That quote was what first triggered my theory.
 
Back to the Electric Universe. Their theory gains support by the preferred orientation of galaxies as discovered by Dr. Longo, who said that a “cosmic magnetic field” could explain this evidence, and could tie in with the cosmic microwave background. And all of this evidence can explain why the CMB has relationships to the Earth, the sun, and the Milky Way. The CMB is not from the Big Bang, obviously…

“Actually, it is not a relic of the Big Bang [but] aggregate radiation of all radiants of electromagnetic radiation (star, galaxies, etc.) of the universe.” - N. A. Zhuck (p.85)

…as the steady staters have said. And it includes the first light on Day 1, which, according to St. Thomas Aquinas, was of the “solar substance” - like the light of the sun and other stars - and “which henceforth is to endure”. And it has endured, and we have detected it. And this explains the lack of “shadows” in the CMB: because it is generated everywhere in the universe, and maybe smoothed out by expansion (a la big bangers). And I’ll add that Hildegard said that the stars “warm up the firmament and strengthen it”, consistent with this theory.
Given a choice most Catholics would prefer a Big Bang to a Steady State universe from a philosophical perspective, because the former implies a beginning to the universe, but you seem wedded to any and every fringe idea or crank who comes along (I’m not saying that Arp is a crank by the way, but Behe has become one and Sungenis always was one) and opposed to mainstream science on principle (without actually knowing enough science to be able to properly discern). Why?
Well first of all, the only thing I’m wedded to is an immobile Earth and a mobile sun - Geostatism - along with all other Catholic teachings, but that is by the power of divine grace. The rest of it is simply going where the evidence leads. And so it is not my concern if the Big Bang falls or the Steady State rises. The absurdity of this glorious and orderly universe making itself, and us, out of chaos is no better than the absurdity of an infinite universe - that also made itself, and us. I’m only interested in the truth, without compromise, and I will gladly take truth from both sides, or whoever else, and give it back to its rightful owner - the Catholic Church. And why do I usually reject the theories of mainstream science? “We cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door.” The underlying motive of mainstream science is to remove the Creator from His Creation, so they will never come to a knowledge of the truth. And so if mainstream science says one thing… I bet opposite! It’s a winning strategy. 👍

And Christians should understand that if the world believes something that is contrary to Sacred Scripture, and therefore contrary to the Catholic faith, it is because the Deceiver is the “prince of this world” - clue! We have given you plenty of reasons to believe, but you have the free will to choose what to do this information. If you want to believe that all of this evidence pointing to us being at the center of the universe is all just a bunch of incredible coincidences, then you can. But if you choose wisely, then when you step outside you won’t have to wonder why a 1000mph gust of wind doesn’t knock you on your can! Because the Earth is not spinning! Nor is the moon - look at it! Oh the joy of being free of the brainwashing of this world.

May God open the hearts and minds of all who sincerely seek the truth so they might receive it…

“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32)

God bless.
