Can it actually be proven that the Earth moves? This book gathers sixty lines of argument a geocentrist can put to a fellow Catholic who takes heliocentrism for granted, and it opens with the words of the physicists themselves.
"To the question whether or not the motion of the Earth in space can be made perceptible in terrestrial experiments... all attempts of this nature led to a negative result." (Albert Einstein)
"No physical experiment ever proved that the Earth actually is in motion." (Lincoln Barnett)
"Although it is not uncommon for people to say that Copernicus proved Ptolemy wrong, that is not true...for our observations of the heavens can be explained by assuming either the earth or the sun to be at rest." (Stephen Hawking)
"There is no planetary observation by which we on Earth can prove that the Earth is moving in an orbit around the sun." (I. Bernard Cohen)
"Thus all Galileo's discoveries with the telescope can be accommodated to the system invented by Tycho Brahe."
"And thus celestial bodies can move around the Earth at rest, as in the Tychonic system." (Isaac Newton)
"A great deal of research has been carried out concerning the influence of the Earth's movement. The results were always negative." (Henri Poincare)
