We live on a finite planet. It is a nearly spherical ball of rock hurtling through the vacuum of space, in orbit around a small star we call the sun. The sun provides energy in the form of heat and electromagnetic radiation such as light.

Gradually, however, man has been accustoming himself to the notion of the spherical earth and a closed sphere of human activity. A few unusual spirits among the ancient G...
