Default New theory of the universe. A bubble floating in a high (4th?) dimension

For those who care about astronomy and their normal use of perspectives, nothing more current than watching Mercury run an actual loop of the central Sun -

Theorists don't do interpretation and whether it is a mathematician thing or not, they have been wrecking havoc for centuries -

"For to the earth planetary motions appear sometimes direct, sometimes
stationary, nay, and sometimes retrograde. But from the sun they are
always seen direct,..." Newton

Unlike the illusory loops of the slower moving planets, we see the faster moving Venus and Mercury in their smaller circuits run around the Sun with their direct/retrograde motions representing the back and forth motion in front and behind the central Sun.

If people want to waste their time and ignore what is in front of them then so be it but genuine astronomical interpretation is within reach of any adult who knows what they are looking at.
