Circular Motion and Gravitation

Geocentrism has not been completely falsified in recent centuries--it still applies to the Earth and its one Moon.  Of course, the underlying causes of the juxtaposition are quite different. For, according to Aristotle, the heavier-lighter contrast between the two bodies does not causally determine the spatial distinction entailed, i. e. the orbiting of the Moon, like that of other celestial bodies, is internally driven, reflecting its semi-divine Cosmological status.  In contrast, according to Modern Astrophysics, that orbiting is explained by the laws of Gravitation and Centripetal Force.  It is thus due in at least part to his ignorance of the latter two that Aristotle attributes Divinity to circular motion.
