Occams razor applies... the simplest solution is often the best. Those monster equations would be unstable on their best days... since the center of gravity of the total mass of that "mess" would be changing moment to moment. Than anyone seriously doubts the sun centric solar system simply astounds me. There are more than sufficient observable effects to support that theory. There are none... zero.. zip... nada observations that support the earth centric model.
