I thank James for a link to a short video about the unimaginable size of the universe from which I believe inescapable conclusions must be drawn about some of the myths our species have created.
I know that I am repeating myself when I observe that for more than a thousand years we believed that we were the center of the universe, that everything revolved around this planet. What egotism.
When Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo, got us beyond that, most scientists still believed that our galaxy was the entire universe until just over one hundred years ago when Edwin Hubble saw a smudge on an image taken by the telescope at the Mount Wilson Observatory that he marked ‘Var’ for variable that resulted in proof that there are other galaxies beyond the Milky Way.
Now we have videos like this one. Unimaginable and inescapable.
