Look at that never burning out sun, God's creation just floors me, what a amazing God we have.

It's about halfway through the yellow star period. We've got about 4.6 billion years to go, if it's like most main-sequence stars.

that is a geocentric model innacurate.

 

[JohnD]

Oh? How so?

 

[jasonc]

Oh? How so?

Pizza would be the one to explain but when I watched the video. I first noticed how far away the sun gets from the planets. uhm the earth being the third planet is way behind the sun . the sun cant move like that and the planets have the sling shot like effect.

 

[JohnD]

um, isn't that an argument for the graphics portrayal? like the exaggeration factor was about 125% rather than to declare the model inaccurate???

My question to the creator of the graphic would have been is that the actual direction the sun travels in reference to the orbital disk? And is that the direction the planets revolve around the sun?

ANYTIME someone tells you they have a new, better way of looking at anything within science and they use the term "Vortex", you should run in the opposite direction as fast as you can.
