Evolution of our location in the universe.   From the center to the edge.

Exponential explosion of knowledge

Unification of the desire to go to the center of the Earth and the angles pushing planets.  Newton’s apple.  Apocryphal.

The law of cosines

 

Voyager’s speed ~ 60,000km/h  (Circumference of the Earth: 40,075 km.  Why is it so close to 40,000km?)

60,000km/h divided by 1,000,000,000 km/h ~ 0.00006c

Addition of two speeds in Galilean and Eisensteinian frame of reference

Gravitational lensing demonstration

Spectrum.  How to know red shift and how to detect the composition of distance stars.  The nature of astronomy.
