A footnote to the Copernican revolution:
What a profound epistemic rupture it was, wasn’t it, for the Earth to be demoted to the status of a planet?
We are no longer at the center of the universe — just an ordinary planet, inhabited by ordinary people.

I hate that this is the first thing I have to ask the mainstream publishers I'm getting ready to submit work to
It is something one could negotiate in the contract process. Ask for a clause that says no AI involved in copy edits or cover design.

In 2021, on the other place, I shared a backlog of odd but possible research ideas.
It was a good experience. Plenty of helpful comments, thoughts and feedback.
For reasons I'll explain I am going back through them, especially the more 'experimental' ones. I thought I'd share them again here.

Anillo de Einstein.
Lo que parece ser una sola galaxia son dos en realidad separadas por una gran distancia.
La galaxia en primer plano se encuentra en el centro, mientras que la galaxia de fondo más distante parece envolver a la más cercana, formando un anillo.
