Tycho Brahe, a Danish astronomer (1546-1601) paid close attention to uniform circular orbits, which his assistant Kepler, with philosophical differences, rejected. However, it has recently been discovered that giving Earth its own circular uniform orbit in space not only solves many riddles and poorly understood areas of astronomy, it also reconciles Tycho Brahe's original suppositions and suggests that we are living in a binary star system — which Tycho would not have been aware was possible back in his day.
- Learn the latest talking points in a hot debate now occurring!
- Have we been wrong for centuries about the basic geometry of our solar system's motion?
- Learn about the Tychosium, the online 3D Tychos modeling system.
Simon Shack, the researcher and author of the book “The TYCHOS: Our Geoaxial Binary System”, has been poring over empirical data collected over thousands of years by various cultures around the world, including the latest data in the celebrated astronomy of the Western world. Much of this data has been instrumental in supporting the semi-empirical pseudoheliocentric model we are all taught in school. However, the overall data supports a much more common system in the observable universe: Earth may be near the center of a Sun-Mars binary system.
Presenter Maxeem Konrardy reveals the newest developments by the astronomer Simon Shack, who compares two semi-empirical solar systems for Earth's local place in space, and how the models relate and diverge.
Part 1: Are we ignoring critical data about our solar system?
Part 2: Does that data indicate Earth is in a binary system?
Part 3: What a TYCHOS binary system indicates about our world.
