Since the advent of [[theory of relativity|relativity theory]] in the early 1900s, the laws of physics have been written in covariant equations, meaning that they are equally valid in any frame. Heliocentric and [[Geocentric theory|geocentric]] plotting systems are both used today, depending on which allows more convenient calculations. Heliocentric coordinates have the advantage of being closer to an [[inertial reference frame]].
