Has the Tychonic model of the solar system ever actually been disproven? It seems most people's criticism of it is that it's "too complicated" and goes against Occam's razor.

it seems simpler to me. elliptic orbits don't really make sense if gravity is always acting on the orbiting bodies.

Planetary orbits are actually circular. It's just that we live in a 4-dimensional spacetime, so they're circles in the 4-dimensional spacetime. If you project that into a 3-dimensional space, you get an ellipse.

Would have been better if this faggot traced the relative orbits of other planets to earth rather than drawing them tied to the sun,

You can time the eclipses of moons to work out distances to other planets, and also find their range with radar. I presume Tycho's model predicts different distances than the heliocentric model.

That's the whole point of the tychonian model tho.

It doesn't. See general relativity.

Then it would be ordinary ass heliocentrism.

I recommend you watch this video, which explains very well the differences (and similarities) of the Ptolemaic, Copernican, and Brahe's systems
https://youtu.be/1_bUgfpWfu4?si=Rdt
One of the reasons why Copernicus' system took a while to be adopted was because it was no better at predicting celestial motion that Ptolemy's system. As you can see in pic related, the positions of the sun and Mars to the earth remain the same whatever system you are using.
Neither Ptolemy nor Brahe's systems are 'wrong' because they both accurately predict celestial motion, and are in theory no better than one another for this.
They are however physically incorrect because stellar aberration disproves geocentrism.

This is just the actual orbit of earth but with earth centered.

That's because you're a retard who can't see the only difference is which position is regarded as "at rest". Take opie's gif and center it on the sun instead of the earth and you have the heliocentric model.

The whole argument against Ptolemy was that it was more complicated and wrong as a result. Not sure why the atheist/Jewish/pro-abortion/lgbt/ma

Anyone else treating this like an eye illusion?
Sometimes I'm able to trick my brain into seeing the earth as moving even know its fixed in this gif
