The individual is in a dilemma: either he decides to safeguard his freedom of choice, chooses to use traditional , personal, moral, or empirical means, thereby entering into competition with a power against which there is no efficacious defense and before which he must suffer defeat; or he decides to accept technical necessity, in which case he will himself be the victor, but only by submitting irreparably to technical slavery. In effect he has no freedom of choice.-Jacques Ellul -The Technological Society

“With the arrival of electric technology, man has extended, or set outside himself, a live model of the central nervous system itself. To the degree that this is so, it is a development that suggests a desperate suicidal autoamputation, as if the central nervous system could no longer depend on the physical organs to be protective buffers against the slings and arrows of outrageous mechanism. ” ? Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media: The Extensions Of Man

Humans have been creating and using tools for thousands of years. And since our relationship with tools is special, we humans actually love our tools.
And I am sure that I never read any memorable news in a newspaper. If we read of one man robbed, or murdered, or killed by accident, or one house burned, or one vessel wrecked, or one steamboat blown up, or one cow run over on the Western Railroad, or one mad dog killed, or one lot of grasshoppers in the winter, – we need never read of another. One is enough. If you are acquainted with the principle, what do you care for a myriad instances and applications?” ? Henry David Thoreau, Walden

And I spent many hours writing up my thoughts in the 18,000-word article. My thought on this matter are not easily conveyed in a few words.
currently there are only 3 models around; heliocentrism, geocentrism and geo-heliocentrism. Do you agree with any of these or propose a whole new idea? @John le Bon
This list provides an overview of some of the significant or common map projections. Because there is no limit to the number of possible map projections, there is no definitive list that includes all of them.
@John le Bon so neither the Sun nor the Earth is in the centre of all the other celestial bodies we call “planets” surrounding it?
One can MODEL the movements of the heavens on either a geocentric or heliocentric system One can NOT model the movements of the heavens on a ‘flat earth’ system But ultimately these are just models, and the map is not the terrain.
