How should we see the Holistic Universe Model?

I struggled a lot on the true nature of the Holistic Universe Model, since all motions we see around us can both be modelled from a Heliocentric AND a Geo-Heliocentric point of view.

Initially I was really tempted to think we live in a geo-heliocentric model. Such a model would be a far better explanation for why we can’t feel or measure the changing Earth’s orbital speed and why Earth’s atmosphere is not drifting away.

After carefully thinking things through, there is still only one conclusion possible.

Can we also look at the model as-if any other planet is the center?

So let’s say we live on Venus, would there be a kind of VENUS-PERIHELION-POINT in which we could see as if the Sun would orbit it?

The answer is definitely yes. All planets have eccentric orbits so all planets have a PERIHELION-POINT just outside the Sun.

The additional question, would Venus also have a wobble? According to science they have. All rotating planets have some degree of oblateness (flattening) and therefor are experiencing some kind of axial precession a.k.a. Wobble.

So there will be a VENUS-WOBBLE-CENTER just outside of Venus AND Venus will have a VENUS-PERIHELION-POINT close to the core of the Sun (because Venus has only has a very small eccentric orbit).

Therefore we can make these two statements:

  1. All PERIHELION-POINTS of the planets – causing the mean eccentricity and inclination precession - are close to the Sun.
  2. All WOBBLE-CENTERS of the planets - causing the eccentricity amplitude and Axial precession - are close to their planet.

Since the conclusions are PERIHELION-POINTS and WOBBLE-CENTERS are both not unique for Earth but all planets have them, it is not logical to consider any planets to be the central location other than our Sun.

Frame of references

We can look at the model from different frame of references.

  1. We can look at the model the way it is modelled with the EARTH-WOBBLE-CENTER as the central point

    The way it is modelled:

    • The EARTH-WOBBLE-CENTER is the center of our solar system.
    • Earth is wobbling clockwise around the EARTH-WOBBLE-CENTER in a period of ~22,937 solar years, also known as Axial precession and therefore the Axial tilt changes.
    • The PERIHELION-OF-EARTH is orbiting the EARTH-WOBBLE-CENTER - and therefore Earth - counter-clockwise in a period of 99,392 solar years, also known as Inclination precession and therefore the inclination tilt changes.
    • Axial precession meets Inclination precession every 18,636 years.
    • Our Sun is orbiting the PERIHELION-OF-EARTH in a period of 1 solar year.
    • Therefore it shows as if Earth is orbiting the Sun.
    • All planets in our solar system are orbiting a perihelion-point just outside the Sun completely according to Kepler’s 3rd law.

    The below picture should clarify the movements as explained above from EARTH-WOBBLE-CENTER frame of reference.

  2. We can look at the model with the PERIHELION-OF-EARTH as the central point

    How you could also see it:

    • The PERIHELION-OF-EARTH is the center of our solar system.
    • Earth is wobbling clockwise around the EARTH-WOBBLE-CENTER in a period of ~22,937 solar years, also known as Axial precession and therefore the Axial tilt changes.
    • The EARTH-WOBBLE-CENTER - and therefore Earth - is orbiting the PERIHELION-OF-EARTH counter-clockwise in a period of 99,392 solar years, also known as Inclination precession and therefore the inclination tilt changes.
    • Axial precession meets Inclination precession every 18,636 years.
    • Our Sun is orbiting the PERIHELION-OF-EARTH in a period of 1 solar year.
    • Therefore it shows as if Earth is orbiting the Sun.
    • All planets in our solar system are orbiting a perihelion-point just outside the Sun completely according to Kepler’s 3rd law.

    We can create the same picture from the PERIHELION-OF-EARTH frame of reference

  3. We can look at the model with the Sun as the central point

    What is actually happening:

    • The Sun is (still) the center of our solar system.
    • Earth is wobbling clockwise around the EARTH-WOBBLE-CENTER in a period of ~22,937 solar years, also known as Axial precession and therefore the Axial tilt changes.
    • The PERIHELION-OF-EARTH is orbiting the Sun counter-clockwise in a period of 99,392 solar years, also known as Inclination precession and therefore the inclination tilt changes.
    • Axial precession meets Inclination precession every 18,636 years.
    • Earth - or actually the EARTH-WOBBLE-CENTER - is orbiting the PERIHELION-OF-EARTH - close to the Sun - in a period of 1 solar year.
    • All planets in our solar system are orbiting a perihelion-point just outside the Sun completely according to Kepler’s 3rd law.

    We can create the same picture from the Sun frame of reference

    Holistic Universe Model – SUN Frame of Reference

We can look at the Holistic Universe Model from different frame of references, but the most logical frame of reference is we are – still -living in a heliocentric solar system.
