Our motion is relative to other objects. Einstien assumed no absolute space, as opposed to Newton, therefore eliminating the concept of absolute motion, in favour of inertial frame of reference.

Our clocks run slower here on the surface of the earth relative to the orbiting GPS satellites, thus if we didn't account for that through General Relativity, then our satellites wouldn't sycronise properly and any measurement of a position would make no sense.

If you have a theory that explains dark matter and energy you're free to give it a crack. There are many physicists that are doing such a thing, questioning some of the base assumptions both Newton and Einstien made, e.g. assuming that space-time is not fundamental, that it is an emergent property of some other phenomenon.

I don't need a theory to explain dark matter and dark energy, because there is no need for these concepts within the theory of a stationary Earth. It is something made up within the paradigm of a heliocentric model.

I'm at the point where I will offer people $500 paid in BTC to go and debate their positions with contrarians. Only 3 caveats:

1. No ad hominems.

2. No rage-quitting.

3. No fallacious arguments

I have heard almost all of these arguments over hundreds of hours of discussions, so I'm not going to try and do a back-and-forth through text.

If you're confident in your beliefs and want to argue them, I'm sure we can set something up. Otherwise, I am fine with 'agreeing to disagree'.

Dark matter and energy are just explanations for observations for the size of galaxies and their increasing acceleration, respectively. Explain that with whatever cosmological model you are using. While you are at it, explain the offsets for GPS, the orbit of Mars, blackholes, gravitational waves, neutron stars, and the cosmological background radiation.

Helicentric model? We've moved on since Copernicus. You have 100 years of physics to catch up on :p

I would take $500. Sounds fun.
