i totally insisted that the sun orbits the earth for several minutes in front of my whole 5th grade class because i got what "the sun orbits the earth" means mixed up somehow
"There’s a principle in game theory known as min-maxing, meaning that in any given system, behaviors will evolve that maximize gain for minimum effort. This means that a lot of thought has to be put in to bulletproofing a new system against min-maxing. Take the internet, for example. The designers of the internet thought it was going to be this wonderful open community. They were expecting it to be nothing but unicorns shitting rainbows. But in come the min-maxers with their spam, bot nets, and viruses.
I am stuck at the college library for the next like hour or so.
Entertain me, peons.
I would recommend going to the biology section and finding a book on interesting animals, preferably with lots of photographs. Or maybe a book on rare seashells like this one I found at this library in Philly. So cool.

ahahahaha
you think the library at a community college has a biology section.

There has to be a science section of some sort. Just wander over in that direction and browse.
That'd require me going downstairs, which I am too lazy to do. What, you didn't think there were books on the first floor of the library, did you?
Besides, I am long past the "science is way cool" phase of my life to the point where I'm actually actively bothered by friends of mine fawning over the Cosmos reboot. I don't begrudge people for being interested in stuff, it just doesn't hold my attention anymore.

Mo, I am telling you to look at cool things, not analyse astrophysics equations.
Of course the fact that he's kinda been willing to sell himself as a caricature in certain contexts (such as his more recent appearances on The Daily Show) doesn't help.
The earth doesn't orbit the sun. The sun doesn't orbit the earth. They both orbit their shared center of gravity, which is very close to the center of the sun.
The moon and Earth orbit their shared center of gravity as well.
In a very real way, the sun does, in fact, orbit the earth; just that it moves a very little bit (but it's a huge thing, so moving a little bit means a lot) as opposed to the little earth moving a lot.
In the same way, when I throw a ball up, the earth moves up to catch it by about the width of an atom; and the ball goes down much farther; but both move and given the masses of both objects and the movements, it is equivalent.
Stop this "earth orbits sun" junk. The earth and the sun both orbit their shared center of gravity.
