This heliocentric drive seems to originate in ancient speculations concerning vision and the power of the mind. As one instance, students of modern, heliocentric (sun-centred) astronomy have, since Copernicus in the early 1540s, applied the term "planet" to all the visible, opaque bodies in revolution about the sun. Long after I have forgotten Einstein's name, I bet I remember the heliocentric cosmology of "Tinsnout" Copernicus. |
