Lady, There is no purer than the
circle, you yourself have taught us.
I know, but suppose

the circle
prevented us from seeing beyond.
Just like the sunshine
prevents us from seeing
stars.
I must begin again
with new eyes.
I have to rethink everything.
All.
Reading the first letter
Paul to Timothy.
I therefore wish
that everywhere
men would lift their prayers
without anger or disputes.
Equally,
that women desire
dress modestly,
decency and propriety
without braids in her hair
or gold or pearls
or expensive clothes,
-but with good deeds.''

What shape would it show us?
what shape
You said once the problem
is the inconsistency of the sun.
Yes I did, good..good
Put it into words.
The sun must be at the center
as we turned around.
And at the same time
in another position seen the
distance from it varies.
Yes, exactly.
- How?
How could occupy
two position?
How can occupy

Aspasius ...
Yes, yes. There.

Okay.
Tie this end there.
Aspasia
imagines that this is Earth
and the each of flames represent the two
extreme positions of the sun relation to it: / i
in winter and summer.
What happen if both positions
were the two centers / i
of the same circle / i
That is impossible, mistress.
wait what we know about the circle?
We know that center of the circles
is always same distance to any point
its perimeter. / i
Exactly.
Yes. / I
What if the center divided into two
but keep constant the sum
distances to its perimeter / i
Okay, I'll show you what.
As I move this rod along
the rope,
a segment increases
and the other decreases.
And vice versa.
Thus the sum of the two always..
constant. You see that?
We apply this, to the movement
Earth?
