Geocentrism Memes

The bell curve of astronomical enlightenment! On the far left, we have the geocentrists who never made it past medieval thinking. On the far right, the relativistic geniuses who understand reference frames. And in the middle? The vast majority who memorized "Earth revolves around Sun" for their 5th-grade science test and called it a day. From Einstein's perspective, both statements are technically correct since motion is relative to your chosen reference frame. But try explaining that at Thanksgiving dinner when Uncle Bob insists the moon landing was fake because "the stars don't move right."
