Examples of ptolemaic system
ptolemaic system
Ptolemaic system could have been made to work even today, but Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler made things much simpler, i.e. shorter.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The term comes from back in the day when scientists had to keep on making ridiculous modifications to the old Earth-centered ptolemaic model of the solar system just to get it to work.
