Most Catholics are brought up to believe that the heliocentric character of the solar system has been scientifically established beyond any reasonable doubt, that Copernicus and Galileo were right, and that geocentrism (the view that the sun and all the planets revolved around a fixed earth) has been decisively refuted. In the words of Dr. Dean H. Kenyon:
Copernicanism is the nearly universally accepted view in the world-wide scientific community, in educational and research institutions and in the popular media. Our culture is saturated with it. To seriously entertain a geocentric view of the universe in modern times seemed like believing in a flat earth. And yet . . . [a]fter four years (2008-2011) of intense study of the arguments of Sungenis and Bennett and their references in the primary scientific literature, I have concluded that a very strong case can be made for the validity of a Neo-Tychonic geocentric cosmology. Virtually every empirical finding (e.g., stellar parallax and aberration, retrograde motions of the planets) purportedly supporting heliocentrism can be shown to be consistent with Neo-Tychonic geocentrism. Especially persuasive are recent data on the distribution of galaxies in the cosmos, gamma-ray bursts, and the distribution of quasars, all of which strongly suggest that the earth lies at or very near the center of the cosmos. And then there are the astounding data obtained by the Wilkerson (2001) and Planck (2009) probes on patterns in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. These data show that the CMB dipole axis is aligned with the earth’s equator and that the CMB quadrupole and octopole axes are aligned with the ecliptic! So much for the Copernican Principle!
What I found especially intriguing was Sungenis and Bennett’s discussion of Lorentz’s and Einstein’s responses to the famous (nearly) null result of the Michelson-Morley experiment (1887). The null result implied that the earth was motionless and yet according to the heliocentric model it obviously could not be motionless. The problem for physicists was to explain the null result of the Michelson-Morley experiment in a way that would preserve Copernicanism, a very tall order indeed. Lorentz derived his famous transformations (e.g., 1904) and Einstein developed his special theory of relativity (1905). But amazingly both of these now seem to be erroneous in the light of Sungenis’ and Bennett’s arguments. (Einstein’s equation, e = mc2, can be derived in several ways non-relativistically.) All of this is laid out very clearly in Sungenis’s Geocentrism 101: An Introduction to the Science of Geocentric Cosmology.
The ninth edition of Geocentrism 101 now makes it possible for any Catholic with a basic understanding of natural science to defend the Church’s traditional geocentric-geostatic model of the universe, the model that was believed and proclaimed by every Father and Doctor of the Church from the time of the Apostles.
