So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Who can disagree. | The Chinese Moon, tm Friday. 2.2.07 9:28 am You know, Pluto and its moon (co-dwarf planet?), Charon, are in a 1:1 spin-orbit resonance. That is, the same side of Pluto always faces Charon and vice-versa. Charon and Pluto rotate about each other once in the same time it takes for them to spin on their axes once. This means that in order to see the moon, you would have to travel to the side of the planet where the moon is. Can you imagine how weird that would be if it were that way on the Earth? What if only the Chinese could see the moon? The moon would be a Chinese attraction, and people would have to travel from all over the Earth to see the strange Chinese Moon. The old astronomical maps would have this large white sphere on it and when they brought them to the courts of Europe or the Middle East, they would think that the sphere was a figurative artistic addition to the map, because everyone else would see the stars in the same positions as the Chinese did, only without the moon. Think about how our knowledge of the heavens would have changed... think about how our poetry would be different! Our literary tradition in general! Even the days of the week would be different, because there probably wouldn't be a "Monday". Another interesting thing to think about would be if a different side of the moon faced the Earth. Right now the moon fulfills its half of the bargain and rotates synchronously with us- meaning that it rotates with the same period as it orbits the Earth, meaning we always see the same side of the moon, but the moon-people don't always see the same side of the Earth. On the other side of the moon in the south is a GIGANTIC crater, the South Polar Aiken Basin. If that side of the moon happened to be pointing towards us, the moon would look like a giant eye-ball instead of a smiling face. I wonder how THAT would have changed our culture!?? 3 Comments. WHOA. That's a lot to digest. I try to think of how such changes would personally have affected me and I don't think that it would have much. But I can imagine historical changes as well as some cultural changes had it been any of the other infinite possile ways that it could have been! » etheracide on 2007-02-02 10:23:08 That was as dull as a dull rock. GET IT? GET IT? 'CAUSE YOU STUDY ROCKS GET IT? » Dilated on 2007-02-02 11:13:01 haha in Stephen King's Wizard and Glass, there are many sides to the moon. Sometimes it's peddlar's moon, sometime love moon, and sometime Demon moon. pretty cool. of course, it's set in another world (or another time, i haven't found out yet) » middaymoon on 2007-02-02 06:39:08
