Earth moves at 1 mph (or 1.6 km/h) - so relax everyone !

“Chi va piano, va sano” - “Those who go slowly, go safely” (old Italian adage)
Dear Cluesforum members & readers, Ladies & Gents of this planet,
Some of you may have wondered why I have been relatively inactive & absent in later times from this indomitable discussion forum (founded by yours truly & Hoi Polloi) – but I trust you will soon understand and appreciate the reasons for my prolonged 'silence' of sorts. For the last five years or so my head has been hovering, so to speak, “up in the clouds” or, should I say, a bit beyond that.
Back in 2013, and as documented on earlier threads of Cluesforum, I started questioning the validity of the Copernican solar system which we were all taught at school. At the time, I only had a few problems with it – and was just driven uncontrollably by my wretched / innate curiosity, trying to make sense of some apparent inconsistencies afflicting the same. I certainly nurtured no 'mad ambition' to wrap my head around it all - nor did I, much less, imagine myself to ever disprove the 400-year-old, universally-accepted Copernican model of our so-called Solar System.
After all, Earth, as we all used to 'know', orbited around the Sun. Period. Since everyone told me so, I - like everyone - also believed this was true for the best part of my life, and ever since my early school days. I'll always remember how anyone who'd claim the contrary was laughed out of the room – and I was among those kids giggling at such 'utter foolishness'... Well, I'm now happy to admit that I was very much mistaken about that. I was but one of many young fools.
Today, many decades later, I find it almost surreal to be able to announce publicly (and in bold / red type!) the following “breaking news” – without any fear of making a fool of myself (again):
The Sun orbits around Earth – and not vice versa. Copernicus had it 'upside down'.
My TYCHOS model is the only existing configuration of our solar system that agrees not only with astronomical observations (gathered over the centuries) - but also with all physical, optical and geometric realities known to humankind. I challenge allcomers to prove the contrary - and sincerely wish good luck to them. In fact, I will relish to debate my TYCHOS model with the wider scientific community of this planet – even though I fully realize the enormity of such an endeavor. However, and as the old saying goes, let the chips fall where they may. Let me now specificize (yup, that funny English word apparently exists !) :
Tycho Brahe was (almost) right. Copernicus was (completely) wrong - all along.
Tycho's proposed 'geo-heliocentric' model had the orbits of the Sun and Mars intersecting - much like the vast majority of our visible star systems. In other words, he had correctly (yet unwittingly) interpreted the binary nature of our solar system. Since no binary star system had yet been observed in his time, Tycho had no way of making sense of his own observations. He then made a most horrendous mistake – i.e. when he entrusted the young Kepler to solve the baffling yet crucial & all-important behavior of Mars. The rest of this tragic 'mishap' (which has set back humankind's cosmo-logical knowledge by 400+ years) is recounted in due detail in my book, “the TYCHOS model” .
All I've done is to gather the missing pieces of the broken Tychonic puzzle - and assembling it in a logical and coherent manner. It was all there, all along, for everyone to see – and I have only had the patience, stamina and intuition to bring those dispersed fragments all together. Well, not to dip into excessive, self-disparaging modesty, I should probably claim for myself a few “lucky strikes” of my own - such as, for instance, my determination of Earth's “PVP” orbit, around which we all travel at the leisurely pace of 1 mph - or 1.6 km/h! That's right: in spite of our earthly lives seemingly rushing by at breakneck speed (and despite the haste & stress imposed by our so-called modern era) our placid Mother Earth gently trundles around our cosmos ... slower than a turtle's morning-walk around the beach! May her tranquil, laid-back ways be an example for humanity to follow. That is, starting from today - March 21, the spring equinox of 2018. What a beautiful day this is.
Since I have, after all, conducted this half-decade-long research on my own without any outside help (apart from the very precious assistance from my friends - as acknowledged below) I dedicate this new understanding of our cosmos to the 'power of intuition'. I believe that it is a subject matter that should be introduced, one fine day, in our planet's schools - so that our future generations will learn how not to be fooled anymore by any of their snobby forefathers' ingrained, “firmly established knowledge”.
I also firmly believe that the TYCHOS model will stand the test of time. For all times.
And now, dear fellow earthlings (as I gently roar by the end of the book...) :
...“Let a very peaceful Tychonic revolution begin!”
Yours truly, always - Simon Shack

As everyone may well imagine, a massive amount of efforts have gone into preparing the TYCHOS book (in its various formats), the Tychos.info website and, last but not least, the Tychosium Planetariums (2D & 3D). Even though my manuscript was (almost) ready a few months ago, a huge amount of work remained to be done: I was lucky enough to be assisted by a dream team of indefatigable helpers, namely Hoi Polloi, Patrik and Kham. The proof-reading, layout, post-editing and bibliographic referencing of the many hundreds citations of the book (as well as the entire tychos.info website construction) was handled by Hoi Polloi – with solid assistance from Kham. Patrik (aka “Patrix” on this forum) is the wondrous programmer responsible for the two gorgeous, interactive Tychosium Planetariums (2D & 3D) which, of course, represent an absolutely essential and definitive 'proof of concept' of the TYCHOS model. My infinite gratitude goes to these exceptional individuals who have dedicated untold hours of their lives to make the TYCHOS come true.
(Note for Cluesforum members: I sincerely hope all members will understand why, unlike my September Clues research, I am not uploading the entire Tychos book here at the forum. Five years of unpaid labors of love have taken their toll on my already thin and steadily-dwindling savings, and I now really need to wisen up with respect to my daily livelihood needs. However, if your finances are as limited as mine, please just contact me by e-mail and I will send you a PDF of the Tychos book free of charge. You may then, at a later stage, decide if it was worth the read – and make some donation here or at the Tychos website. This, because I think it is important that ALL members should have access to the Tychos book – no matter what.)
