A THOUGHT OF LUDWIG WITTGENSTEIN

About the universe and how we perceive it.

Once, walking along with a friend, The philosopher Ludwig wittgenstein, posed the following question:

- Tell me my friend, why people always say that is natural that men assumed that the sun revolve around the earth, and not the opposite?

- Well, it is obvious, the way we see it from here, looks like the sun goes around the earth.

- Very well then, and how we would see it from here if it looked like the earth went around the sun?
