The Sun is NOT the Center of the Solar System

Despite what you may have heard or learned in school, the sun is NOT in fact the center of the solar system. And it won’t be until 2027… But this being a science channel, you might be thinking “What the heck is this guy talking about? Of course the sun is the center of the solar system. We’ve known that for more than 600 years.” Like most things in science, it’s not quite that simple.

Stop talking so much. Let the video play!

[trentbowman]

I also agree the Sumerians they just had it right. But also they didn't write it down. It just made sense

[rodneyburk]

If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.

[xeverogaming]

I'm with you on being a nerd. I love learning new stuff. Knowledge is the key of life.

[ciaphascain]

It's still in the center of the solar system. The fact that it wobbles doesn't change that.

[ingiford]

Technically correct, the best kind of correct

[UpYourArsenal]

It's quite literally the "SOLAR" system, based on the Sun. They could be right about the general details in the 'bigger' picture, but it is the center of the system *we defined* to be around the center of said system. Gravitational orbits are physics, end of discussion.

Heliocentric model is outdated before GTA 6

I remember when Be Smart was "Its okay to be smart". Great channel.

You would be absolutely amazing how many people don't understand this stuff. PBS shows are so helpful for the general public.

Here goes something interesting about Claudius Ptolemy: Even though he was wrong, his equations actually predicted that there were 2 more planets and where their locations were...Uranus and Neptune When astrophysicists and mathematicians looked at his equations, they found that his equations were less than 1 degree off of where Uranus and Neptune's location in the solar system was by their discoverers. It turned out that though his math was correct, his conclusions were wrong.

This was super interesting. I remember learning about a lot of this in school but I really need a refresher course on some of the finer details. I've got a whole list of stuff from this video I want to look into so I can refresh my memory. I'm a nerd too and love learning. I'm really excited to get to researching. Thanks!

Makes me wonder what knowledge have we lost that we have to relearn since the ancient days

[jasonsmith]

He's not wrong. Stars that have large planets tend to wabble do to a gravitational tug of war between the star and it's planets.

5:35 ClaudiusPtolemy .. .. I love that you recognize his achievements.

So many people today look at the 'Wrong Answers' and think "those people were stupid (or at least misguided)" ... failing to realize that 'as a species' ... ... mankind has evolved more from failure, than success.

They say Edison failed 10, 000 times before he invented the lightbulb. He said "I never failed, I learned 10, 000 ways to not make a light bulb"

I said it before, and I'll say it again: I hate reaction videos, but MrLboyd is an exception.

[jamesjohnson]

I love science and math. My new fascination is tree(3) and how large a number it truly is and how fast it ramps up from tree(2) to tree (3)

[LAkadian]

Yes! I know It sounds crazy, but I had a past life in Nubia, (Kush) as a king, and I'm corroborrating the fact we understood the astronomy then. There were also trade routes to the Americas. We in Kush traded with Khem, who traded with the Chinese, who had trade with the Americas. WE ALL KNEW the Americas existed LONG before Columbus. We also knew about Antarctica bc of the Nordics.

According to my ex wife, she is the center of the solar system.

Ptolemy Cluster is really neat to see in a telescope. it look like a hurricane of stars.
