I’ve received colorful correspondence from people upset with me over a dozen philosophical issues — especially from those who think Kant was Enlightenment/objectivist/liberal, Nietzsche was thoroughly individualist, Rand was antisocial, and that postmoderns are the good guys — as well as those who chastise me for supporting neither Trump nor Biden. Then there are those who are furious that I would question lockdowns and who are sure that the vaccines are a conspiracy of which I have idiotically/unwittingly become a part. Such emails now seem almost ordinary.
But I was genuinely surprised to receive today an intense email about my apparently insane and lying lecture and post about the heliocentric model of the solar system and Galileo’s battles with the Church over its geocentrism.
NO evidence was Ever presented by either Copernicus nor Galileo. So please stop this insanity of parroting a L I E of heliocentrism.
P.W. by email.
Ask yourself now: how come I know, that you DON’T KNOW a single evidence to prove heliocentrism?
Because there is N O N E.
The very fact that, Earth lacks Centrifugal Force proves it. Earth is Solid, Atmosphere is Gas. Gasses don’t follow Solids. That would produce difference between speed of spinning Earth and Stationary Atmosphere of 1666 km/hr!
Now what?! you know you don’t know. SO stop bluffing like there is such evidence. YOU IGONORANTS are INFURIATING!
Your lack of knowledge is self evident as now you realized that, you indeed can’t humiliate me. That’s why you can’t quote or find any evidence that either Copernicus or Galileo used to “prove” that Earth goes around Sun!
I demand that you call any professor in the world to help you!
Story that Galileo was heliocentric is FALSE.
[Disclaimer: I’ve never received hostile emails from flat-earthers or astrologists.]
Unbelievable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdIjYBtnvZU. Plus, of course, tons of other evidence. In modern times with GR, we know any coordinate system, either with the sun at the origin or not, is equally valid, but calculations a much simpler with the sun at the centre. So much simpler, you would need rocks in your head to look at it any other way.
