WasAristotleCorrectthattheEarth isthe“Heaviest”ObjectintheUniverse? Alongtimeago,AristotleproposedthattheEarthwasnotonlythecenteroftheuniverse,butthat becauseitwastheheaviestobject,allotherobjectsgravitatedtowardit. Similarly,moderngeocentrists,usingaNewtonianperspective,holdthattheEarthisthecenterof massoftheuniverseandthepivotpointaroundwhichtheuniverserotatesdaily. Buttheremaybemoretothisthanmeetstheeye. Quantum mechanics offers us another window into how the universe may be operating with its ownweightsandmeasures,andwefindthattheyareoddlysimilartoAristotle’sproposalthatthe Earthistheheaviestbodyintheuniverse. Forexample,inmybook, GalileoWasWrong,IshowhowthiscanbeconceivedusingtheCompton anddeBrogliewavelengths.1 The Compton wave is the quantum mechanical property of an object that is stationary.2 The deBrogliewaveisaquantummechanicalpropertyofanobjectthatismoving.3 TheComptonwavelength λ isequalto h/mc,where hisPlanck’sconstant, mistherestmassof theobject,andcistheterrestrialspeedoflight.

This difference is quite remarkable since the universe, as estimated by current cosmology, has a diameterof93billionlight‐years. Buteveniftheuniversewereonlyonemillionlightyearsindiameter,itseffectivemasswouldbe 2.32 10–59 grams, and thus thirteen 13 orders of magnitude lighter than the Earth. This is analogoustocomparinga1poundballtoa10trillionpoundball.Whichiseasiertomove? Obviously, the universe is much easier to move than the Earth. In fact, since the Earth’s effective mass is so exorbitantly greater than the universe, it would be absolutely impossible to move the Earth out of its place, which coincides with the geocentrist’s fundamental truth that the Earth is fixedinspaceandistheabsolutepointofreference. Moreover,anymovementorvibrationontheEarth,suchasanearthquake,wouldbeabsorbedby theuniverseandspreadoutoveritsmillionsorbillionsoflight‐yearvolume,effectivelydissipating alltheenergy.TheonlyeffectontheEarthwouldbeperhapsafewfissuresonitssurface,butthe Earthitselfwouldnotmoveduetoitsextremeeffectivemass. ApplyingthedeBroglieWavelength If we now apply the deBroglie wavelength the equation for moving objects to the distance between the sun and the Earth, a fascinating piece of information is revealed. The deBroglie equationis:  λ h/mv where hisPlanck’sconstant, misthemassoftheobjectand vistheobject’svelocity.Sinceeither thesunortheEarthmusthaveavelocityof30km/sec,andλmustbethediameterofthesun‐Earth distance 93millionmilesor1.5 1011meters ,solvingform,wehave 2  m h/λv  m 1.47 10–46gramsfortheeffectivemassofthesunorbitingtheEarthinthegeocentric system. Notice that the deBroglie number “1.47 10–46 grams” is very close to 3.86 10–46 grams, the effectivemassofafixedEarthfoundfromtheComptonequation.Thecoincidenceofthesenumbers meansseveralimportantthings. First, since the effective masses of the sun and Earth are almost identical, it means the sun and Earth are perfectly balanced, and consequently, the sun can travel effortlessly around the fixed Earth. NB:TheresidualeffectivemassbetweenthesunandEarth 3.86 v.1.47 maybeduetothe sun’s one degree lag behind the rotating universe and/or the mass and distances of the planets fromthesun .
