hashkafah philosophy - Lubavitch and Geocentricism



I read here in an article by Rabbi Gil Student that the late Lubavitcher Rebbe zy"a believed in the geocentric model despite the modern scientific evidence to the contrary. What is the source for this claim? Can someone cite a letter or Sicha from the Rebbe zy"a where he discusses his support for the geocentric model?



Answer



See also this letter by the Lubavitcher Rebbe on this subject, in which he states:



It is my firm belief that the sun revolves around the earth, as I have also declared publicly on various occasions and in discussion with professors specializing in this field of science.



He also explains why he believed this way based on the Theory of Relativity.
