Title Change

I decided to change the title of my course blog to "And yet it moves." It is named after one of my own art projects from Rome. However, this is also an English translation of the legendary comment "Eppur si muove" by Galileo Galilei, Italian philosopher, mathematician, astronomer, physicist, and artist from Pisa, Italy. He was said to utter this phrase when the Roman Catholic Church told him to abandon his formerly held belief that the earth circulates around the sun.

You can read more about him HERE.

His famous experiment at the Learning Tower of Pisa is HERE.


By the way, there is also a video game called And Yet It Moves, which I have never played:
