Numbers by the numbers: Twone?

November 10th, 2012 by Charles Cameron

Alchemists see in that sameness a marriage of opposites or coincidentia oppositorum. But here’s my pair of questions for you:

  • is that similarity a matter of entirely random coincidence, or is it evidence of immaculate care and design?

  • and how different would the entire history of human belief be, if the moon and sun were not even close to the same as each other in (apparent) size?

    • For one thing, if the moon seemed smaller than the sun, we’d have no total solar eclipses — the impact of that alone would be interesting to consider.
