Evolution is a theory in the same way that the sun
centered model of the solar system is a theory.
During the debate over Galileo, some theologians appealed to verses of Scripture to «prove» that Galileo's sun -
centered model of the solar system could not be correct.
As an example of this, consider the Brahe / Kepler proposition of epicycles of the planets based on an earth -
centered model of the solar system.

«For the first time, space weather forecasters now have
models and tools for predicting how a CME is released from the sun, accelerated out into the
solar wind, and ultimately ends up colliding with Earth's magnetosphere creating the geomagnetic storms that impact so many technologies and
systems,» says Rodney Viereck
of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Space Environment
Center.
Galileo knew he'd found proof for the theories
of Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (1473 - 1543), who had launched the Scientific Revolution with his sun -
centered solar system model.
Mercedes Lopez - Morales, an astronomer at the Harvard - Smithsonian
Center for Astrophysics, has
modeled the possibilities
of magnetic fields around red dwarf planets, and a picture is gradually emerging: The planets likely form in the outer parts
of their
solar systems and migrate in.
The current
model of active galaxies such as M87 posits that each one harbors at its
center a black hole many millions or even billions
of times more massive than our own sun, all packed into a space about the size
of our
solar system.
The
model of the
solar system that placed the earth at the
center is called geocentric.
The conclusion that greenhouse warming dominates over
solar warming is supported further by a detection and attribution analysis using 13
models from the MMD at PCMDI (Stone et al., 2007a) and an analysis
of the National
Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Climate
System Model (CCSM1.4; Stone et al., 2007b).
Cutting edge data
centers of the future will require less
of a physical human presence, and are likely to: â $ cents Rely on a VIL to optimize equipment management and provide for virtual remote control capable
of instant changes, switches and adds â $ cents Achieve LEED certification for the physical building â $ cents Rely on more efficient water cooling that potentially takes advantage
of an on - site tower to chill water for cooling the
system (thus reducing energy consumption by using nature's natural cooling power to chill water) â $ cents Use fluid dynamics
models to precisely design the interior
of the building to maximize the efficiency
of the HV / AC
system for air - cooled computing
systems â $ cents Tap into a mixed energy grid that relies on green energy sources such as
solar, wind or hydroelectric (depending on geographic feasibility), along with a reliable city grid thus avoiding the need for the standard back - up Uninterruptible Power Supply (which will reduce equipment costs, minimize floor space used, and increase energy efficiency because
systems that employ a UPS convert AC to DC and back, incurring substantial energy losses).
As
of November 2014, there were 14 Earth
System Models from 12
centers in eight countries that
modeled temperature, soil moisture, and
solar radiation at a daily resolution for at least one
of the three RCPs (S1 Table)(Note: all Earth
System Models that we used include feedbacks
of plant production on water balance).
