The main point of General Relativity was that coordinates are completely
an artifice, and physical phenomena do not know or care about coordinates.
The exact mathematical expression of this principle encompasses more than
just inertial frames...

According to this interpretation, relativity DOES have something to say
about an Earth-centered universe: "Go right ahead, but you're being silly."
