Antique Scientific Diagram of an Astronomical Clock, 1773.
The dark center object is the Earth. The Moon to the left and the Sun to the right. The Moon is rotating, revolving around the Earth, rotating around the Sun as it stays in rotation around the Earth. The Earth is not making a circle equidistant from the Sun, but rather one in which it is closer during some parts of the Ellipse. The Earth’s behaviour is thus so regular that time can be kept and seasons can be predicted.

In 300 years someone’s gonna make a Hamilton-esque musical with Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders and teenagers on the internet are gonna stan Donald Trump like “uwu my trash son Donald being a drama queen as usual” and I’m gonna have to do it. I’m gonna have to come back from the dead and destroy the planet.
