Is the Ptolemaic System Correct?
« on: March 12, 2022, 09:42:16 PM »


It's a geocentrist model of the universe, and to me it seems certainly more reasonable than the claims of modern "science". I question the existence of other galaxies, as NASA has a proven track record of lying and hoaxes (ex. Moon Landing), and they offer no convincing evidence (CGI renders don't count). 

Notably, it features prominently in the Dante's Paradiso, and as an aside, it was through reading that book that I first learned about this system. 

I'm interested to hear the opinions of others here on the forum on this subject, since I am interested in the subject but (to my knowledge) didn't see it come up during the recent Flat Earth debates.

FE/GE debate aside, it's the most consistent system for a geocentric model, at least as far as I've seen. It has been accurate for centuries when it comes to lunar phases, eclipses, etc. I certainly no longer believe that "space" is even a thing, at least not so far as it expands for billions upon billions of "light years", as God revealed that there were "waters above" not a void with massive stars and planets expanding forever.

Even Bl. Hildegard von Bingen's visions support this system (whether or not you believe them): https://www.cathinfo.com/fighting-errors-in-the-modern-world/sugenis-hildegard-and-the-cause-of-gravity/msg798720/#msg798720

Many ancients held a theory regarding the "spheres", since the notion of a "force acting at a distance" was rejected as philosophically absurd (and it is).

The only geocentric system that's still congruent with our observations is based on the tychonic system (from Tycho Brahe, 16th century).

Correct. Two things about this illustration that must be known. The orbits are not circles as Tycho thought, but Cassinian ovals. Moreover, the earth, sun, planets system illustrated above should be confined to the light blue circle in the middle.
