THE PYTHAGOREANS BELIEVED THAT AT THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE WAS A BIG BALL OF FIRE. THE PEOPLE ON EARTH COULD NOT SEE IT BECAUSE THE EARTH WAS TURNED AWAY FROM IT. PYTHAGORAS AND THE PYTHAGOREANS WERE THE FIRST PEOPLE TO TEACH THAT THE EARTH ORBITED THE BIG BALL OF FIRE ON AN ANGLED POINT. HE WAS PARTIALLY RIGHT BECAUSE THE BIG BALL OF FIRE THAT THE EARHT ORBITED IS NOW CALLED THE SUN.
