Dynamical description of Tychonian Universe

TL;DR

This paper proposes a Machian model where the Earth's observed motions are explained by the universe's rotation around a fixed Earth, using vector and scalar potentials from cosmic masses.

Contribution

It introduces a novel Machian framework that accounts for Earth's motions through universe rotation and potentials, challenging traditional geocentric and heliocentric models.

Findings

Earth's diurnal and annual motions can be explained by universe rotation.

Vector and scalar potentials from cosmic masses are key to this description.

The model offers an alternative perspective on Earth's motion without requiring a moving Earth.

Abstract

Using Mach's principle, we will show that the observed diurnal and annual motion of the Earth can just as well be accounted as the diurnal rotation and annual revolution of the Universe around the fixed and centered Earth. This can be performed by postulating the existence of vector and scalar potentials caused by the simultaneous motion of the masses in the Universe, including the distant stars.
