Centre of the Universe

Recommended Posts

Today’s Google homepage has a tribute/links on the 194th birthday to Léon Foucault. To save web searching, he was a scientist that showed, by his pendulum experiment, that the earth spins.

However, in the first couple, links is this dimwit’s 12min video on how he thinks (supported by bible scripture) that the earth doesn’t move.

He even posits that this is how the Coriolis Effect works.

His idea that the universe rotates around earth is pretty silly.



Especially since I'm pretty sure it rotates around me.


Only if you stand next to a certain professor we all know and love.:):P

John is the Centre . . . Dan is the Center.

It all becomes clear now.

Talking to yourself now? Which one of you is at the center?
