| The observational implications of a moving earth are not obvious, particularly to 20th-century-city-folk who do not look at the stars and who assume the earth moves as an obvious fact.

It will also help recall several key individuals associated with the major world systems from Aristotle & Ptolemy to the time of Newton. |
