Meaning of heliocentricism | Babel Free

Examples

“And as to Copernicus, he declared most expressly in his preface that he spoke of Heliocentricism as a pure hypothesis; the imagination of which was useful for the calculation of planetary orbits, but which “need not be true or even probable,” i.e., resting on any solid ground whatever.”

“I do not say for example that Heliocentricism is no truer than Geocentricism, but is only a simpler hypothesis.”
