| Bad Religion - Flat Earth Society lyrics |

(words and music by Mr. Brett)
Flat Earth Society
It's a society that actually exists. The UK
Subs album Riot also has a song called Flat
Earth Society. And Dimentia Thirteen have an
LP called Flat Earth Society.
The concept of a spherical Earth was espoused
by Pythagoras, apparently on aesthetic
grounds[1], as he also held all other
celestial bodies to be spherical. It
displaced earlier beliefs in a flat Earth: In
early Mesopotamian thought, the world was
portrayed as a flat disk floating in the
ocean, and this forms the premise for early
Greek maps like those of Anaximander and
Hecataeus of Miletus. Other speculations on
the shape of Earth include a seven-layered
ziggurat or cosmic mountain, alluded to in
the Avesta and ancient Persian writings (see
seven climes).
As determined by modern instruments, a sphere
approximates the earth's shape to within one
part in 300. An oblate ellipsoid with a
flattening of 1/300 approximates the earth
exceedingly well
Nicolaus Copernicus (February 19, 1473 —
May 24, 1543) was the first astronomer to
formulate a scientifically based heliocentric
cosmology that displaced the Earth from the
center of the universe. His epochal book, De
revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the
Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres), is
often regarded as the starting point of
modern astronomy and the defining epiphany
that began the Scientific Revolution.
Although Greek, Indian and Muslim savants had
published heliocentric hypotheses centuries
before Copernicus, his publication of a
scientific theory of heliocentrism,
demonstrating that the motions of celestial
objects can be explained without putting the
Earth at rest in the center of the universe,
stimulated further scientific investigations,
and became a landmark in the history of
modern science that is known as the
Copernican Revolution.
Among the great polymaths of the Renaissance,
Copernicus was a mathematician, astronomer,
physician, classical scholar, translator,
Catholic cleric, jurist, governor, military
leader, diplomat and economist. Amid his
extensive responsibilities, astronomy figured
as little more than an avocation — yet it
was in that field that he made his mark upon
the world.

| Cosmos7 Ionia Birthplace Of Science Part1 |
 |
Ionia birthplace of science Part1.
The Milk-y Way our galaxy got its name from
the squirted milk out of the breast of Hera,
Zeus' wife, into the Cosmos, as the ancient
Greeks thought.
Carl Sagan asks the question: Why was science
born in Ionia and not in India, Egypt,
Babylon, China or Mesoamerica?
Thales of Miletos was the first scientist.
Anaximander was the first scientist that
conducted experiments to verify a hypothesis.
