Copernicus vs Brahe: does the Earth move or hold still?

Set the Sun at the center, and the wandering planets fall into perfect order, no longer riddles but a clockwork.

A pretty diagram, Nicolaus, but I measured the heavens without a telescope for decades, and I felt no Earth beneath me hurtling through space.

You cling to a still Earth because your senses demand it, yet the mathematics I offer is simpler, and nature prefers simplicity.

Keep your elegance; I keep my data, and one day my numbers, not your poetry, will decide which of us was right.
