Aristotle paragraph in History of astronomy
Hi Rishabhnasa!!

I was reading the Astronomy article and I didn't undersand your paragraph at all:

"Aristotle said that the Earth was the center of the Universe and eerything rotated around it in orbits that were perfect circles. Aristotle had to be right because people thought that Earth had to be in the center with everything rotating around it because the wind would not scatter leaves, and birds would only fly in one direction. For a long time, people thought that Aristotle was right, but now some people think that Aristotle accidently did more to hinder hour knowledge than help it."

I wonder whether I'm not getting the meaning or it's just that some information's missed. I would like to know what 'wind scattering leaves' has to do with the Earth being in the center of the Universe. Don't you agree we should add some information?

Please forgive me if I'm wrong. My english is not as good as I'd like and sometimes I don't catch on everything -but asking is the way to learn, don't you think ;-)?

Best wishes,

Herumire

If you drive a car at 60 mph, and you throw leaves out the window. The result would be the leaves would be left behind your car. Even if you throw the the leaves so they should land ahead of you, they will end up behind you. Aristotle thought that if the Earth is like the car driving around the sun, the leaves should act similarly. Hopefully, this is helpful to you.
