A model is never wrong; it is merely more or less useful. In celestial navigation we continue to use the geocentric model of the Sun, Moon, stars and planets, because it makes the mathematical calculations much easier. (I spent 3 years teaching celestial navigation for the U.S. Air Force's Interservice Navigator Training School at Mather AFB, Sacramento, CA.)
For anything beyond low-earth-orbit, the geocentric model does not represent reality in any meaningful way, and is not useful.

∙ 7y agoDepends on what you mean by a theory being fake. As a theory it is real. People had thought about it and believed in it. But as a description of reality, it is wrong. The Geocentric theory puts the Earth in the middle, with the Sun and all planets orbiting around the Earth. By now, we're pretty darn sure that's not how it is. The Sun is in the middle, with the planets orbiting around the Sun.

∙ 9y agoGeocentrism is the theory that states the Earth is the center of the universe, and that all the other planets and the sun revolve around it. This theory was the general belief in ancient times and during the middle ages. Posterior observations and study from scientists like Copernicus had demonstrated that in reality it's Earth and all the other planets from the galaxy the ones that go round the sun, which is located at the center of the galaxy, this theory is called 'Heliocentrism'.

What words definition is this belief that the earth is the center of the solar system?
Such principle of belief that earth is the centre of the solar system is geocentrism. The model is called a Geocentric model.
What word describes the theory that the universe is centered around the earth it sounded like my teacher said talemaic?
Geocentrism. The word was probably "Ptolemaic" science, as in Claudius Ptolemy.
What was the difference between the geocentric theory and the helicentric theory?
Geocentrism places Earth at the center of the planetary system. Heliocentrism, correctly, places the sun at the center, hence: the Solar System.
Is matter anything that takes up space and has mass true or false?
Your answer is true.
The Medulla controls your involuntary actions true or false?
true true true
What kind of model of the solar system has Earth at the center?
Geocentrism,See the Wikipedia article:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocentrism
What was the scientific idea that the earth was the center of the universe?
This was called geocentrism.
Why would someone believe the geocentrism and not the heliocentrism?
Someone who takes the Bible literally
What is a description of the solar system called in which all the planets revolve around the sun?
That description is the geocentric model, a.k.a geocentrism or the Ptolemaic system.
What is eprg?
EPRG stands for Ethnocentrism, Polycentrism, Regiocentrism and Geocentrism. It is used as a framework for companies to improve their strategic profile in terms of international business strategy.
