Geo,
- the universe rotates and orbits the earth
But it doesn't, from a terran frame of reference, the universe rotates around & orbits the
sun. If you want to describe the universe relative to the earth, the entire universe wobbles 186 million miles every year as it rotates about us, which just so happens to be twice the distance from the earth to the sun. Evidence suggests then that even from an Einsteinian POV, either the universe rotates about the sun, or the sun rotates within the universe. Now, given the huge distance of other stars relative to a rotating sol, they must travel at many times the speed of light in order to describe a circle about the sun. The evidence is therefore consistent with a rotating sun, about which the earth revolves. Unless you are breaking General relativistic rules, that is.
