But it's worth recalling Wittgenstein's remark on the subject: "Tell me," he asked a friend, "why do people always say it was natural for man to assume that the Sun went 'round the Earth, rather than that the Earth was rotating?" And his friend replied, "Well, obviously, because it just looks as though the Sun is going round the Earth." Wittgenstein replied, "Well, what would it have looked like if it had looked as though the Earth was rotating?" (Laughter)
Pero vale la pena recordar el comentario de Wittgenstein sobre el tema. "Dime," le preguntó a un amigo, "¿Por qué siempre se dice que era natural asumir que el sol se movía alrededor de la tierra en lugar de que la Tierra estuviera rotando?" Su amigo replicó, "Bueno, obviamente porque se ve como si el Sol se moviera alrededor de la Tierra." Wittgenstein replicó, "Bueno, ¿y cómo se hubiera visto si se viera como si la Tierra estuviera rotando?" (risas)
