Having the earth as the center adjective

Having the Earth at the center. Usually in reference to the Solar System, as part of a discredited theory.

An astronomical belief that was popularly accepted during time periods between the 2nd Century AD/CE until the 16th century. The main aspect of this astronomical belief was that the Earth was considered to be the center of the solar system, and universe, because of how planets and the sun seemed to revolve around the Earth. During the 16th century, however, it was proved wrong, and replaced by the more commonly accepted heliocentric model (the sun being the center of the solar system). The person who proved it wrong was a well renowned astronomer by the name of Galileo Galilei, whose ideas were considered a threat to the validity of scripture, and thus religion (another incident where religion impeded upon the advancement of scientific knowledge). Can also be used as a term to describe a person whose main points in an argument are based off of what is a commonly accepted belief. Often these people are ignorant af, unable to cope with their own stupidity because they are too busy arguing about distant, and unrelated topics that nobody cares about. Urban Dictionary

An athlete who pursues outdoor pursuits of geographic significance. Ie: a mountaineer who climbs Everest mountain because it is the highest peak, the sailor who sails around the globe and the seven seas, the Navy Seal who swims across the equator as a special initiation ceremony. These pursuits are consistent of those of the geocentric athlete. Urban Dictionary
