    Hi,

    I'm very busy at the moment - I hope to come back to this later. However, those of you who are saying it is scientifically impossible for the sun to go around the earth are simply WRONG. True, it can't around the earth relative to the universe as a whole - Newton's laws show us that. But the whole argument is about what the universe as a whole is doing! And the speed of light has nothing to do with it either - that's only constant for straight-line motion. When you consider rotating frames the rotational effects aren't factored in. If they were, then relativity (which is the only reason to have the speed of light constant) would be WRONG. Besides, we only have observational evidence that c is constant with respect to the universe as a whole anyway - so if the universe is rotating then there is no observational evidence that c is constant when we add in the rotational effects.
