Our Solar System is a “Vortex” Myth
There is a video that shows our solar system as a vortex and says the heliocentric model of the solar system we know is wrong. However, the video is wrong and the heliocentric model is correct.

"All I know is that I don't know nothing", said Plato's Socrates. Actually that is the lyrics of an Operation Ivy song, but it's close. When you peel back the onion you find that you know even less than you thought you did. I am full of not knowing, i'm full of questions, and I can write faster than Plato because I have a computer.
I am not one to shy away from an onion over the fear of a few tears. I apologize in advance if I mucked up an issue. Keep in mind this site is a collective search for truth, not gospel.
As a FactMyth.com author I consider my gig more like 'dirty jobs' than a soapbox speech. I'm not an expert, i'm just a guy with a keyboard who knows how to research and write. Expect nothing less than prolificness and many revisions.
