It seems that the Milky Way doesn't have as many major arms as has commonly been believed. Naturally, I am revising my travel plans accordingly! grin

Shades of George Orwell, huh. Did you know that book was
banned in the States for quite a few years.

I didn't know it was banned in the US, fortunately I missed that. I read it in 10th grade or thereabouts from the school library! I have seen it a time or two on lists of banned books, though. For some reason, that slogan (from the book Animal Farm, if anyone who isn't in on the gag cares) rang through my mind when I read the galaxy article! Took only a slight bit of modification and reversal to fit very well!

If the book “ ANIMAL FARM”
“ was banned in the States for quite a few years ”
it only means that the USA also lives in Orwell’s “ 1984”

No animal shall kill any other animal without cause”.
And the assassination J. F. Kennedy and his brother
R. F. Kennedy confirms this situation.
============..

Abstraction and logic .

The tree is covered with a lot of leaves.
The leaves rustle, speak, argue among themselves.
But shouldn't they know that the roots feed them?
Physicists behave as leaves.
They rustle, speak, argue among themselves.
But they forget the roots of science, namely that we build the base
of a science on abstract ideas.
The base of the classical mechanics is constructed on abstract
separate absolute space and abstract separate absolute time of Newton.
The base of thermodynamics is constructed on the abstract
ideal gas theory.
The base of the theory of radiation is constructed on
the abstract black body theory.
The base of SRT is constructed on the abstract theory
of four-dimensional space theory.
On this abstract base, physicists build a concrete building of
science and are surprised when they discover paradoxes in it.
But in nature there are no paradoxes observed.
Something is not in order with logical thinking.
It is necessary to stop, look back and
to reconsider the abstract base of science.
Maybe the abstract ideas are not abstract ones.
But everyone is in a hurry to try to understand reality,
and they create new abstraction. It is a way to “mad infinity”.
Therefore we all live in the world of abstraction, of paradoxes,
in the Orwell’s world.
How to break off this circuit of abstraction?
How can we understand the Existence logically?
