Galileo was punished by the Church for
teaching that the sun is stationary and the
earth moves around it. His opponents held the
view that the earth is stationary and the sun
moves around it. If the absolute motion has
no meaning, are the two viewpoints not
equally correct or equally wrong? Can we take the help of another celstial body to answer this question?
