If Neptune, Uranus, Jupiter or Saturn were up there, we'd be orbiting them.
"A philosopher is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there. A theologian is the man who finds it." ~ H. L. Mencken

"We ain't a sharp species. We kill each other over arguments about what happens when you die, then fail to see the fucking irony in that."

Well of course!
The other planets orbit the sun which in turn orbits us. Everything revolves around us relative to everything else!
Otherwise, you'd feel the ground move at and earth rotate and those absurd speeds wouldn't you?

Ah. Right. Einstein. No fixed frame of reference. It makes as much sense to say that everything revolves around the earth as any other reference point. :prof:
