Default Re: What revolves around the earth?

so Wittgenstein was talking with a friend, and asked him "why did people used to think the sun revolved around the earth"
the friend answered "well obviously because it looked that way"
Wittgenstein countered "well, what would it have looked like had it looked like the earth revolved around the sun?"
