No I'm not saying that the Earth is a special place to view the universe, as actually I think it to be an extremely poor place to view the universe. But recently the copernican principle has been subverted to mean that the Earth is as good as any other place to view the universe. It simply is not. As an example, its a bit akin to studing the marketing of fine foods in New York City in AD 2005, from the inside of a rice cake, thats being baked in a stone oven in 14th century BC western China. The copernican principle was not intented to mean that there are not far better places to view the universe than Earth.Originally Posted by Ironside
