Here's quotes from Edwin Hubble's book. He's saying they don't even consider researching the geocentric model because it's unwelcome, intolerable and should be avoided at all costs. And he says a geocentric system would be horrific.
Ive also included a link to his book and a link to a site that speaks about why this may be horrific for them.
“Such a condition would imply that we occupy a unique position in the universe, analogous, in a sense, to the ancient conception of a central Earth…. The hypothesis cannot be disproved, but it is unwelcome and would be accepted only as a last resort in order to save the phenomena. Therefore, we disregard this possibility and consider the alternative … But the unwelcome supposition of a favoured location must be avoided at all costs ... Such a favoured position, of course, is intolerable ... Therefore, in order to restore homogeneity, and to escape the horror of a unique position, the departures from uniformity, which are introduced by the recession factors, must be compensated by the second term representing effects of spatial curvature. There seems to be no other escape.”
