sun orbits earth

[Achebe]

" Morris Berman quotes a 2006 survey that showed some 20% of the U.S. population believed
that the sun orbits the earth rather than vice-versa, while a further 9% claimed not to know."

I live in Texas and I bet it's around 35% down here.

Not sure there's much discussion to be had on this, but I'm throwing it up anyway.

The current model of the earth orbiting the sun applies a fixed reference point of the sun but there really are not fixed reference points in space. As a fact, all bodies in the solar system are in an elliptical galactic motion as well rendering a true orbit of the sun impossible (it keeps moving so by the time the earth passes an imaginary fixed point where the sun was it has moved on). Keeping this in mind, an imaginary fixed point of reference can be created in order to represent the orbit of the earth around the sun which is convenient as it explains extra-planetary motion as all orbiting the same body. Were you to reimagine the arbitrary fixed point as earth and redraw all relative motion you would see the sun does indeed orbit the earth. And while this doesn't make calculating extra planetary motion as convenient (Jupiter in particular is a mess) it does show the motion itself. Now, it doesn't explain the motion (as the convenient and imaginary force of gravity seems to but once you remove the imaginary force of gravity it becomes clear there is a massless substance that celestial bodies swim through that explains all of the odd extraplanetry motions. We call this substance "ethere" and most scientists realize that while it has no mass or color, it offers particular torsional resistances and currents that can explain almost all celestial motion. It functions much like air on earth's surface.

Where's this from? Sounds a bit odd. All inertial frames are equivalent, but the earth around the sun is an accelerated frame of reference and therefore not equivalent to its opposite. Also, gravity as an imaginary force post dates the concept of ether, which went out in 1905.
Rather odd.
