Ha, when I read the first few words of your response, I thought you were saying "myth" makes the world go round. Then I thought, myth certainly has perservered throughout the ages and permeated our everyday lives, from urban legends, to names for the days of the week and our planets. How many wars have been fought over clashing views of creation, divinities, gods, moral/ethical behavior, birth, love, death??? All those are found in myth, and Hollywood's making money off of them. Wait, did I just contradict the point I was making about myth making the world go around? It's time for summer breakIt's just myth that the world goes round anyhow. If it really did, a point on the equator would move 24,901.55 miles in 24 hours. That's 1,037.56 mph! Spinning at that rate, everything would fly off! Therefore, common sense must prevail: the world is stationary, and the sun moves around it. As a corollary, Ptolemy was right after all: the solar system is geocentric.
