“Chi va piano va sano — e va lontano.” (old Italian adage)
("He who goes slowly goes well — and goes far")
This book is about the true configuration of our Solar System. It expounds and demonstrates - in logical and scientific manner - that the Copernican system that we have all been taught in school is geometrically impossible. In short, the Earth does not revolve around the Sun. Instead, the Earth (which moves at "snail-pace" around its 'barycentric' orbit) is located at the center of a binary system constituted by the Sun and Mars. This configuration of our Solar System was in fact proposed in the 16th century by Tycho Brahe - the most rigorous (yet most disparaged) observational astronomer of all times. The TYCHOS provides "the last piece of the puzzle" that Tycho Brahe, in his time, could not possibly have found - or figured out. As it is, my TYCHOS model is grounded on more modern astronomical observations which, for whatever reasons, have evidently been either overlooked, misinterpreted - or wilfully ignored by this world's scientific community.
