We should also be mindful that in a science like astronomy where there is so much out in this vast universe, we cannot go and visit it all first hand. So how we explain it depends on the assumptions we make.

There may be multiple explanations of some things we see in space. George Ellis made a comment similar to this.

“People need to be aware that there is a range of models that could explain the observations….. I can construct you a spherically symmetrical universe with Earth at its center, and you cannot disprove it based on observations…..

You can only exclude it on philosophical grounds. In my view there is absolutely nothing wrong in that. What I want to bring into the open is the fact that we are using philosophical criteria in choosing our models. A lot of cosmology tries to hide that.” (Scientific American 273(4):50-55, October 1995)


Here is a world famous "scientist" telling you STRAIGHT UP that they cannot disprove the geocentric model... they can only "exclude it on philosophical grounds."

PHILOSOPHY has been taught to YOU as fact!

Too bad the philosophers were WRONG as usual huh?
