Idea that the earth may not be stationary

Reference no: EM133417935

Question: One of Aristotle's argument for the Geocentric model was that if the Earth was moving/rotating, it must be doing so at great speed. (450 m/s, 1000 mph!!). Thus if we jump from the ground, we would be "left behind" by the Earth. Therefore, Earth cannot be moving. Think of an everyday-example that you can use, to show Aristotle that this occurs all the time. Don't just state the example. Argue in a way to persuade Aristotle to open up to the idea that the Earth may not be stationary.
