Baloney, the Shadows on the wall were the illusion of the illusion. The illusion and myth Outside the cave and sun was the reality Plato tried to tell us about. The people who believed the myth and did not want anyone telling them there was a different reality lived in the cave where they worshiped the shadows. The sun was the earth revolving around the sun and not the other way around! Greatest show ever!!!!!!!!!!!!11:: The Cosmos tonight with Neil deGrasse Tyson is doing a new Cosmos. He starts is out with the myth of the church and how it has tried to stifle thought for centuries with violence.. He bookcases my two favorite figures in all of History: Plato and Girordano Bruno. My heros. Bruno was exactly, exactly like the main character in Plato's The Allegory of the Cave written 1,000 years earlier. He tried to tell them their was a larger reality and they killed him. The reality Bruno described was a lot like the one in Plato's play. Maybe that is where he got the idea. Pretty much the same infinite/structure, if that makes sense i.e. the cave is not all there is and certainly not the larger reality. The church burned Bruno at the stake for saying that. en.wikipedia.org For deGrasse to see that blows my mind. That is as good a structure of history as I have ever seen. That it is a main program on National Geographic wild (sunday night) tonight, is unbelievable. The church and right wing must behaving a heart attack. He even drew them with sinister faces. Nat geo wild-wow!!! He is telling it like it is. And to repeat, to even tell the bad role the church played in keeping us from knowing the larger reality. How did he manage that? He is introducing us to the real infinity.
