Experimentation and Heliocentricity

Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.

(Isaiah 47:13-14) KJV

The experimental basis for the purported proof of heliocentricity is vast. Fortunately we collected up all of the submissions to our “can you prove heliocentricity?” challenge which began December 25, 2015.

Immanuel Velikovsky (1895-1979)

Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.

(Isaiah 47:13-14) KJV

April 17th

Matty’s Constant

The Lord provides the sun for light by day,
the moon and the stars to shine at night.
He stirs up the sea and makes it roar;
his name is the Lord Almighty.
He promises that as long as the natural order lasts,
so long will Israel be a nation.
If one day the sky could be measured
and the foundations of the earth explored,
only then would he reject the people of Israel
because of all they have done.
The Lord has spoken.

(Jeremiah 31:35-37) Good News Translation

We can’t prove heliocentricity, nor do we have an absolute value for the mass of the Earth. Despite this we have a working model of our solar system so accurate that it can land a space vehicle on a comet.
