The geocentric theory was the model that the earth is at the center of the universe, and everything (sun, stars,moon,ect.) revolve around it daily. It was disproven about 500 â¦ years ago by Copernipus in favor of the heliocentric model which said that the earth went around the sun.eo means earth, and centric means centered..

Beyond that the earth/moon system isn't the center of anything.
