Revolutions, revolutions, revolutions. Do you want to know the
etymology of that word? In 1543, at the end of his life, Nicolaus
Copernicus published "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium": "On the
Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres". The book was revolutionary. It
literally gave new meaning to the word.
See? In the end, everything comes back to science. I always knew I was
cool.
