trying to be light hearted but you got a bee in your bonnet - every notion in civilisation that changed our perception was a "silly thing to ponder" like I might suggest it's not a geocentric universe, god forbid I suggest that many years ago.

what do you mean by 'superficial'? it was a light hearted post at new year where I was suggesting Flod from planet FlodFlod in the FlodFlodFlod region of the universe wouldn't necessarily recognise what I was saying!

There aren't any more 'Suns' in the universe... they're called stars.
And simplifiying comms is a bad reason for shutting down thought processes...

Feel free to see my light-heartedness.... or continue if you wishmy friend !
PS if you're about to post a reply and your response is going to be negative, improper, average, odd, obtuse, irrational, an argument, might change the focus, going off at a tangent or just mean ... go and find a maths forum to post on instead, they'll love you !!
