Back when we thought the Earth was in the middle of the universe we came up with a mathematical model that predicted the movements of the planets with great accuracy. Then after we put the sun at the center of our solar system the model changed and became much easier to understand. But more recently we discovered that there are no special places in the universe. No universal time, no universal middles and starting points. So my question is: is that early model of the universe still valid? Both models are right but the sun in the middle just makes the math easier?
