The theory could be revised to fit new information, yes. However, a.) that's highly unlikely to occur, given the substantial evidence we already have, and b.) until that time in which new evidence presents itself, it's unreasonable to reject the theory as it is.

You are using "substantial" as a relative term in which we refer to our recollection of the past as a basis. So as long as humanity doesn't mess that up, that should continue being the trend.

Like the Geocentric model was old thinking (ie colloquial fact), it was changed to Heliocentric and people never stopped calling themselves enlightened. The "Heliocentric model" had also gone through revisions as it had claimed that the Sun was the center of the galaxy.

To suggest that something is highly unlikely, you are entertaining a probability that you have no ability to quantify. The fact is that changes in theory have happened, do happen, and probably will happen again based on the fact that such occurrences are proven to exist and presents itself as a pattern. Given enough time, the "colloquial facts" of man inevitably shift.

The Earth, having gravity, also has its own pull on the Sun. Everything revolves around each other.

I'm not the one who looks at a picture of a human being suffering and dying of starvation due to political ideologies and inmediately thinks of "french fries".
How are you any different from hollocaust deniers?
How are you any different from the people who commit genocides when you blatantly ignore the people suffering?
You're not a history teacher, you're a souless and twisted individual who should be nowhere near any school.
dude, look at this guy mald
it's fucking brutal, man

my favourite quotes:
suffering and dying of starvation due to political ideologies
How are you any different from hollocaust deniers?
How are you any different from the people who commit genocides
you're a souless and twisted individual

I've never seen someone so triggered that I wouldn't pay attention to them before. It is astonishing.
It is so far beneath me to actually respond to the message where you called me 'souless' because I held to my promise to cease wasting my time with you, but son of a bitch(!), ya got me. I had to respond to your psychotic rant, and here it is:

dude, look at this guy mald
- People have never ever being murdered for their political ideologies.
- Denying that people have been murdered for their political views is not being a hollocaust denier.
- Defending and protecting people who have commited genocide does not make me a potential genocidal.
- Ignoring crimes against humanity perpetuated by a specific ideology means I have a bright mind and peaceful soul.
I just changed my quotes to the opposite so they better fit your view of life. Happy now?

And I ask again, where the hell did you get your history degree?

Just because our ways of looking at the universe have changed throughout history doesn't mean each scientific theory will inevitably shift. If your goal is to be rational, then you must accept each scientific theory until the day we have new evidence and a different understanding.

The effect of the Earth's gravitational pull on the Sun does not result in the Sun orbiting the Earth.

Information hasn't been suppressed. Databases haven't been deleted.

The "audit" going on in Arizona is a joke.

why doesn't gbatemp have a cringe emoji
@Lacius, my man, great work baiting this dude into sweatily listing off a bunch of googled facts about gravity to prove to all of us reading "I'm not owned! I'm not owned!"
Ten out of ten, well meme'd. Have a drink on me.

"Please Mr. Meteos, respond to my strawman!"

You are rephrasing my claims to say something that I am not saying.

My claim about planets orbiting each other (sun and Earth) points to the definition of barycenter which is the actual thing that planets orbit. It is more accurate to say that planets revolve around each other than than it is to say the Sun revolves around the Earth or the Earth revolves around the Sun.

Lol, who "learns" about the three states of matter in 10th grade physics? What's the point of this analogy if you are aren't saying that I should treat you like you are in the 10th grade?

I don't have grenades big enough to clean this shit show of a thread. If we're done deliberating on what is and is not a scientific theory, and what that entails, we can return to the actual topic. In case anyone forgot (I wouldn't blame you), it's the Biden administration.

No problem, Captain. Watching tabzer making a fool of himself doesn't have to include science.

Instead, let's discuss Biden's uppers. Do you think he uses just a lot of one, or a bunch of different ones? Do you think they're consumer ones, or do you think he's using the secret rich people drugs that Big Pharma doesn't want us to know about?

This is obvious bait, but I'll respond regardless. I honestly don't know what kind of health Biden's in right now - if his doctor is to be believed, he's in peak condition. With that being said, at the end of the day he's 78 and had two brain aneurysms in the past, one of which had burst. The fact that he functions as well as he does is a medical miracle, so we'll call that peak physical and mental capacity - he's as well as he could be given his medical history. I'm sure he has the best and brightest medical staff on his case 24/7, which he'll need going forward. I suspect we will watch him gradually decline over the course of his presidency, which is a sad state of affairs. I won't make any definitive statements regarding his health since I'm not a doctor - all I know is that he's a dinosaur, and dinosaurs have dinosaur problems, I don't think that's particularly controversial to say.

The solar system's center of mass is roughly the surface of the sun (not the center of the sun), since the sun is approximately 99.8% of the mass of the solar system. So, you are correct that the planets orbit the solar system's center of mass, but that's where your correctness ends.

The planets in our solar system orbit around the sun, and the sun does not orbit around any of the planets. If you were to cease arguing for the sake of arguing, you would see there's no technicality that changes this fact. And, to get back to the point, you would see that heliocentric theory and the theory of evolution, like all scientific theories, are also facts.

I didn't see this until after my response.

Considering Biden famously had a stutter growing up that has affected him in his adulthood, it's pretty much impossible to make any claims about his health just by listening to him speak. In order words, he has always been gaffe prone, and he has always been known to stumble over his words from time to time.

It's also fair to say he will likely decline over the years, but whether that's ten years from now or one year from now is anybody's guess. There's no evidence the Biden administration has been anything other than forthright regarding Biden's health.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Science, English, and history are not your strong suits but you are here.
I don't think you get to say science isn't somebody's strong suit when you are the one who is rejecting overwhelmingly-established scientific theory and the scientific method.
