Working through a not so sophisticated astro physics the Copernican revolution began as Copernicus placed the sun at the center of the solar system and the planets/earth revolved around in an elliptical manner. Easy, breezy, keep the sun fixed and do the math/geometry.
Further study revealed that the sun moves through space and in this aspect the "elliptical' picture became tenuous for what appears to happen is more of rotating ellipses as the planets follow the sun in its progression.
The picture becomes more intriguing when it is noticed that the movement of the planets/earth are not pure ellipses but that the figure may condense to a more circular form only to stretch out to a more elliptical form.
The point is that as one progresses with the mathematics, in this case geometry, of the situation the answers become imcommensurable. the mathematics fails the further one deals with the realities of spatial movement.
Previous to the Copernican view there was the Ptolemaic which effectively placed the "zero point" a the center of the earth. this view displayed ;picture of the movements of the planets in a helical motion but the none the less these astrophysics were able to predict the movements of the planets/etc.. with a certain accuracy.
Contrary to common belief there was a heliocentric view of the solar system during the Greek civilization which turned into the Ptolemaic. they too, were able to predict planetary movements/etc...
Back to the original presentation this does not deny the use of mathematics but to understand that our present mathematicians have come to a point in which there has to be a "jump' to the qualitative understanding of the cosmos which includes man.
This last is vague, I know, but in some of the formulas used to ascertain planetary/solar movement the constants have to be included in a particular variability. Variable constants would bring the events into focus.
I only state this as the idea of "fine tuning" in which the theory is adjusted to fit the findings is a direct result of the imcommersability of the cosmos . Speaking strictly from an insight to the matter it should be noted that if ever the formula, mathematically speaking, could define the cosmos as truth, the cosmos itself would crash into a degenaritive welter of forsaken trash. All machines break , in speaking to the mechanistic minded.
