Changes

Dear R. Schlafly, while researching for this, I came across the blog ''Dark Buzz''. There, I got the impression that you have read the Almagest - and nothing of the above would be new for you. But then, I couldn't explain your statement: ''Assuming that this translation is accurate, it is possible that Ptolemy never even expressed an opinion about whether the Earth really goes around the Sun, or the Sun really goes around the Earth. He may have taken the completely correct position that he was modeling relative motion. ''  Or did you just look at his ''Tetrabiblos''?
