“We had the old idea that “outside” is the universe and “here” are we people, the observers [...] .But today we realize that the universe is a universe of mutual participation, and so we have to simply replace the word “observers” with the new word participants.”
– John Wheeler, American Pioneer of Quantum Physics

“What we Earth- dwellers call Earth I chose to call Volva from the point of view of the people on the Moon.” Seen from the sky, Earth offers an ever changing spectacle; Volva means it turns.

Epicycles: In Eternal Movement
‘The Epicyclet’ from Ancient Greek: ἐπίκυκλος, literally on the circle.
“Whatever motion appears in the firmament arises not from any motion of the firmament, but from the earth's motion.“
“Epicycles: In Eternal Movement”is a hommage to the Astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus and his contribution about the motion of the heavenly bodies. Born 1473 in Torun, he identified the concept of a heliocentric solar system, in which the sun, rather than the earth, is the center of the solar system. When Copernicus transformed Earth-based observations to heliocentric coordinates, he was confronted with an entirely new problem. The Sun-centered positions displayed a cyclical motion with respect to time but without retrograde loops in the case of the outer planets. In keeping with past practice, Copernicus used the deferent/epicycle model in his theory but his epicycles were small and were called „epicyclets“.
