Review Geocentric model currently used

In summary, the conversation discussed the history of the geocentric model and its continued use in everyday life, despite being replaced by the heliocentric model. The use of the geocentric model has also affected theories and concepts in physics. The conversation also touched on the definition of time and how it is used in various equations. The conversation concluded with a discussion on the relevance of the geocentric model in modern science and the impact it has on current research.

More than 300 years ago Galileo Galilei began to revise the geocentric model and he defended the heliocentrism model, now that still use the geocentric model and helps to much, time (time, day, month and year are based on geocentric model), geometry (Euclid), math, the same system of geoposition use the geocentric model, it would be good to review future use, for generations and now think how to using it, the problem is that most of the theories of physics are based on the geocentric model, affecting the concepts and constants. although it is thought that is no longer in use, still used in our daily lives.

We use units that are convenient for everyday life, but physics is independent of units. Physics works the same in every unit system.

Actually, the kilogram is the last basic unit that is not defined in terms of fundamental physical constants. How is "the duration of 9192631770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium 133 atom" (1 second) geocentric, for example?

I mean , right now everything it is working ok , kilogram , we are on the Earth and we feel safe but after the Earth , all theories and standard model are based on geocentric model, we cannot go further , just tell me who has GPS , clock , we need to review the old concepts , math and geometry ,
Just need to understand what say :

Ptolemy's AlmagestHe notes that any model describing planetary motion is merely a mathematical artifact and as there is no way of knowing what is real, simpler model and that yields the correct number is the one to use.

All ecuacion and theories are merely a mathematical artifact ?, we need new ideas and concepts

Just a simple question what are a definition of time? I bet no one has the real answer and all equations use time has problems , classical physics, Quantum physics , Einstein physics (with respect).

Why can we go more speed light ? we are using geocentric model , nobody want to admit it

I do not have a doubt how works , mi question it is why are using?, what parts affect the new theories and project of research right now , materials , SI , LHC , new particles , because we are on the Earth and later , if we go out space , why Pioneer lose velocity?

The insight of Galileo (not Copernicus, though he helped lead to it) isn't that geocentrism is wrong, but rather that who cares? Relativity doesn't say that we can't still use Earth as a reference frame when convenient, it merely tells us that the Earth-centered reference frame isn't special.

Jose Leal, you are posting a mixture of unsupported statements, misconceptions, and questions that are too vague and general to lead to a useful discussion. This thread is closed. If you want to start a new thread, please pick one specific question about mainstream science and focus on that.
 

1. What is the geocentric model?

The geocentric model is a cosmological model that places the Earth at the center of the universe, with all other celestial bodies orbiting around it.

2. Why was the geocentric model historically used?

The geocentric model was historically used because it seemed to fit with observations of the sky and was in line with religious and philosophical beliefs at the time.

3. How does the geocentric model differ from the heliocentric model?

The geocentric model places the Earth at the center of the universe, while the heliocentric model places the Sun at the center. In the geocentric model, the planets and stars revolve around the Earth, while in the heliocentric model, they revolve around the Sun.

4. What evidence led to the rejection of the geocentric model?

The discovery of parallax, the phenomenon where an object appears to shift its position when viewed from different angles, was a key piece of evidence that supported the heliocentric model over the geocentric model. Additionally, advancements in technology that allowed for more accurate observations of the movements of celestial bodies also played a role in the rejection of the geocentric model.

5. Is the geocentric model still used in modern science?

No, the geocentric model is not used in modern science. It has been replaced by the heliocentric model, which is supported by a wealth of evidence and has a better understanding of the movements of celestial bodies in our universe.
