Could We Be This Wrong About the Solar System? - Simon Shack, Tychos - DSpod #264

Simon Shack is an amateur astronomer, independent researcher, and
author. He is the modern champion of an old idea, last held in
Tycho Brahe’s time, that the sun is not at the center of the
solar system. At first blush, this sounds preposterous, for we
have hundreds of years of data that supports the heliocentric
Copernican model. But the more you listen, the more your mind
melts, because not only does the data fit… it seems to fit better
than the conventional model in multiple cases. We spend the
conversation unpacking Simon’s model, figuring out what makes it
run, the assumptions that make sense, and the loose threads that
still need to be woven in. It is a WILD ride, and a truly great
exploration of what it means when the same set of observations
can produce a radically different interpretation. To follow along
visually, check out https://www.tychos.space/ where you can find
a copy of Simon’s book and the Tychosium, a stellarium-type
simulator built to show the inner workings of the model. Lets

https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD
studying bioelectricity at Columbia University. When not talking
to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time
painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also
did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of
molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring
sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various
universities. - Blog: http://DemystifySci.com/blog - RSS:
