在古代欧洲,亚里士多德和托勒密主张地心学说,认为地球是静止不动的,其他的星体都围着地球这一宇宙中心旋转。这一学说本来是古代人对天体运动的一种解释,在观测精度不高的条件下,它与当时的观测资料吻合得相当好,并与人们的经验相一致,比较容易为人们所接受,一直流传了1000多年。中世纪后期,天主教会给它披上了一层神秘的面纱,与基督教《圣经》中关于天堂、人间、地狱的说法吻合起来。处于统治地位的教廷便竭力支持地心学说,因而地心学说长期居于统治地位。
In ancient Europe Aristotle and Ptolemy argued that the theory of geocentrism states that the Earth is static and that other stars rotate around the center of the Earth’s universe. This theory was originally an explanation of celestial movement by the ancient people. Under the condition of poor observation accuracy, it was in good agreement with the observation data at that time and was consistent with people’s experience and was relatively easy to be accepted by people. Has been circulating for more than 1,000 years. In the late Middle Ages, the Catholic Church gave it a mysterious veil, in line with the Christian Bible’s statement about heaven, earth and hell. The ruling Church of the Holy See, for its part, endeavored to support the theory of geocentrism and thus geocentrism said that it had long dominated.
