    The document provides background on geocentricity, noting it was the dominant theory in ancient and medieval science. It describes key aspects of the geocentric model and its proponents like Ptolemy and Aristotle. Modern science has rejected geocentricity in favor of the heliocentric model, though some still believe the geocentric theory is correct based on night sky observations. The student is asked to be objective and cite references in their reaction paper on the rising movement of geocentricity today.

    Week 11: Geocentricity Today - ARG

    Instructions

    Make a research, and then write a two-page reaction paper regarding the rising movement of
    Geocentricity in the modern world. Be sure to be as objective as possible, and cite references
    used in the reaction paper.

    Answers:

    The geocentric model, derived from the words "geo" (earth) and "centric" (center), is earth-
    centered, with the earth in the center of the solar system rather than the sun. The Sun, Moon,
    planets, and stars all orbited Earth according to the geocentric model. Many ancient
    civilizations, including those of Aristotle in Classical Greece and Ptolemy in Roman Egypt, used
    the geocentric model to describe the cosmos. This theory was discovered by Ptolemy. Ptolemy
    of Alexandria's geocentric model was the most advanced (2nd century ce). It was widely
    accepted until the 16th century, when it was supplanted by heliocentric models such as
    Nicolaus Copernicus. Astronomers believed in geocenticity during the medieval period, and it
    dominated ancient and medieval science. Many people seemed to find enough evidence to
    back up their claims. Nothing seemed to cause the Earth to move, so it seemed reasonable to
    assume that it was stationary. Day after day, the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars could be seen
    moving around Earth in circular paths. Furthermore, the fact that objects fall toward Earth was
    perceived to provide support for the geocentric theory.

    The scientists have included that this theory is correct due to certain observations made in the
    night sky. It is very easy to believe that the earth is at the center of the universe based on the
    movement of the stars. Where the stars and moon move around, and if we can observe it, it's
    real. Despite numerous claims that this theory is correct, it is still incorrect. The heliocentric
    model is more widely accepted in modern science. Everything revolves around the sun, which is
    at the center of the solar system. Many scientists, including Galileo Galilei, have proven it.
    Numerous studies are conducted to strengthen their evidence for their claim. The theories
    made us consider the origins of the universe. The scientists who developed these theories put
    in a lot of time and effort. Although it is not very dear to the people's minds, we should still
    respect their own claims because a change may occur in the future and life-changing
    information may be the subject of our own research.
    Geocentricity was rejected by modern science, but ancient and medieval science was
    dominated by the geocentric theory (in Greek, ge means "earth"), which maintained that Earth
    was the center of the universe. Early astronomers perceived that the rest of the universe
    revolved around a stable, motionless Earth. According to the Greek philosophers Aristotle and
    Plato, all celestial bodies move on spheres around the earth, with the moon on the innermost
    one and the fixed stars on the outermost one.

    Geocentricity, in my opinion, is an astronomical theory that describes the universe. Which


    places the earth at the center of the universe and describes other subjects through the eyes of
    the earth. As a result, I conclude that we need to understand geocentricity in order to
    understand the movement of the universe. We should also learn about geocentricity so that we
    can apply it in our daily lives.
