Tycho Brahe thought the planets went around the Sun but the Sun
went around the Earth. Kellerher may be of similar mentality,
believing the Earth orbits the Sun but the fixed stars (or rest of the 
universe)
orbit the Earth. Aside from claiming everyone else is wrong, it is most
difficult to pin down just what Kellerher's crank theory actually IS.
