Nullum enim est, quod meram probabilitatem excedat.
(Riccioli, Almagestum novum, 1651)
About
From the Thales of Miletus’ “falling-into-well” story to Giovanni Battista Riccioli who used to look at quasi-geocentric stars with his telescope, I have come to learn that nothing can be taken for granted and that one step further has to be taken if you really want to try understanding something.
This is why philosophy is essential: It sees the most fascinating aspects of reality through Science.
