Mysterious Universe - NOVA Documentary

well done vid

amazing how the mind
constructs the
physical mechanics
of the universe

constructed, you say ?
O I meant discovery

yet it is incredible how Copernicus
came up with that revolutionary idea
as Galileo might have said:

e pur si muove


And those Jesuits
that put him on trial
did have point.

If the earth is spinning- why don’t we feel it?
Hence kind of stalemate

Then Foucault comes along
400 years later &
constructs that device
Which empirically verifies
Copernicus & Galileo insight

Quite a battle between the senses
Carol King song notwithstanding



I feel the sky come moaning down
