Did Aristarchus of Samos develop a model that made any predictions that could be verified? I think that the ancients thinking about heliocentrism were mostly contemplating it as philosophy. The section you linked doesn't say anything about evidence for heliocentrism, which is what 'jschwartzi is saying was lacking. Stuff like parallax and Foucault's pendulum isn't obvious until it's already been seen, and AFAIK wasn't investigated until the 17th century. |
