I am up and I seem to stand, and I go round.
I am a new argument of the new philosophy that the earth moves round.
Why may I not believe that the whole earth moves in a round motion though that seem to me to stand when I seem to stand and yet am carried in a giddy and circular motion as I stand? [21]
Wittgenstein is alleged to have said:
"Why do people always say that it was natural for man to assume that the sun goes round the earth rather than that the earth was rotating?"
The friend responded, "Well, obviously, because it just looks as if the sun is going round the earth."
To which Wittgenstein replied, "Well, what would it have looked like if if it had looked as if the earth was rotating?"
