GEOCENTRIC MODEL
OF THE
UNIVERSE
In astronomy, the geocentric model is a superseded description of the universe with Earth at the center. Under the geocentric model, the Sun, Moon, stars, and planets all orbited Earth.
Below are the proponents of the geocentric model of the universe, their models, description of their model and the picture of their model.
Pythagoras (Pythagorean Model)
-In Pythagoras model, earth is at rest at the center of the universe and everything rotates around it. Pythagoras also considered that the motions of the planets were mathematically related to musical sounds and numbers. These ideas are called "The music of the Spheres".
Plato ("Saving the Appearance")
-he assumed that all motions in the universe are perfectly circular and that all heavenly bodies are ethereal or perfect.
Eudoxus' Model (Homocentric)
-Created the first model of a geocentric universe. Celestial spheres share one common center-earth. The sun's sphere orbits the earth once every 24 hours.
Aristotle's Model
- Extended Eudoxus' model of the universe. Sun, moon, planets, and stars all orbiting the earth inside of Eudoxus' spheres.
Ptolemy's Model
- All celestial objects including the planets, sun, moon, and stars orbited Earth. Earth is at the center of the universe.
EPICYCLE - the circular orbit of the planet.
Thanls for the info. Is there any chance that i be a model too? Haha
ReplyDeleteIf you want then you can do it. there are no one stopping you hahaha
DeleteThank you for sharing this . And what is the weaknesses of the geocetric model ?
ReplyDeleteThe weaknesses of the geocentric model is that it is not real. It was proposed by famous scientist but it was never been proven
DeleteIf today's model of universe was not discovered/invented, Will Geocentric will be the MODEL until now?
ReplyDeleteWell,in my opinion, yes. Because it was discovered by famous scientists so the people could believe it was the right model of the universe
DeleteYour blog is nice.where did you get the source about that?
ReplyDeleteI got it from my Physical science class because one of our topics is about the different models of the universe
DeleteThank you for the info. Where do you think they get thier own model of the universe??
ReplyDeleteI think they got it from their own reasoning and logic, like Aristotle did
DeleteThanks for info.but what are the most popular scientist of geocentric?
DeleteThe popular scientist of geocentric is Aristotle, Ptolemy, Pythagoras, and Plato
DeleteWhat a nice info mate! By the way, if you are given a chance to make a model, what could it be and why?
ReplyDeleteI would create a model of the universe which the center is a black hole. I would call it Black Hole-centric universe. And all celestial bodies will revolve around that black hole.
