Can You Teach A Caterpillar To Fly ?

The aim of this book is to initiate a new paradigm. If you believe that the world is flat, your own eyes will provide the confirmation you need. If someone subsequently says that the world is round, the person in question is regarded as crazy by the prevailing majority. The same applies to the belief that the earth revolves around the sun and not vice versa. If you believe that the sun revolves around the earth, you can 'prove' it by 'seeing' it. And yes: the sun does indeed appear to move in the heavens while, in fact, we are the ones moving with respect to the sun. Copernicus and Galileo Galilei faced the requisite problems when they challenged the existing paradigm. Every new paradigm runs up against enormous resistance. This is because 'everyone knows that it is not correct'... We do not want you to accept anything we say without examining it critically first. But we do not want you to reject it in advance, either. Look at what we have to say carefully. Analyse it! Assume the position of a neutral scientist.
