Gloucester believed that Lear s actions also came as a result of the star s unusual behaviour. Edmund, the treacherous and bastard son of Gloucester, exploits Gloucester s blind believe in the stars in his plot to oust Edgar out of the inheritance and ultimately to gain all of Gloucester s wealth and land: This is the excellent foppery of the world, that when we are sick in fortune (often the surfeits of the sun, the moon, and stars, as if we were villains on necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and treacherous by spherical predominance; drunkards, liars, and adulterers by an enforced obedience of planetary influence; and all that we are ...

It was believed that at the beginning of each day Huitzilopochtli, the incarnation of the sun, had to open combat with his brothers , the stars, and his sister, the moon. This battle of day is clearly illustrated in The Aztecs by Alphonso Caso: Armed with the serpent of fire, Huitzilopochtli frightens off the stars and moon with his "arrows of light". When he achieves his victory, he is carried up to the center of the sky by the spirits of warriors who have died in combat or sacrificial stone ... in childbirth, for they are equal to warriors because they also died taking a man prisoner - the newborn child.

Each day this divine combat is begun anew, but in order for the sun ...

- 84: Allegory Of The Cave Analysis
- ... in the perfect world, a spiritual realm. It sees beyond the world of sensory perception. Perfect reality is described when the prisoner comes into the light and sees the “light of the moon and the stars and the spangled heaven.” These moons and stars make up the real world that only the “mind’s eye” is able to see. By using the same word, “eye,” to refer to both, Plato is suggesting that there is a connection between the ... puppets”.

- 85: The Search for Black Holes: Both As A Concept And An Understanding
- ... hole is probably one of the most misunderstood ideas among people outside of the astronomical and physical communities. Before an understanding of how it is formed can take place, a bit of an introduction to stars is necessary. This will shed light (no pun intended) on the black hole philosophy. A star is an enormous fire ball, fueled by a nuclear reaction at its core which produces massive amounts of heat ... mass is concentrated and appears purely black on all readings even through the use of radiation detection devices. The first scientists to really take an in depth look at black holes and the collapsing of stars, were a professor, Robert Oppenheimer and his student Hartland Snyder, in the early nineteen hundreds. They concluded on the basis of Einstein's theory of relativity that if the speed of light was the utmost ... the area in which the black hole is suspected to be in. Because a black hole floats wherever the star collapsed, the truth is, it can vastly effect the surrounding area, which might have other stars in it. It could also absorb a star and wipe it out of existance. When a black hole absorbs a star, the star is first pulled into the Ergosphere, this is the area between ...
- 86: Berkeley
- ... infinite mind, the ideas in each mind have some certain distinctions. The finite mind can only contemplate a limited range of thoughts. To illustrate this, let the reader attempt to imagine an infinite number of stars. After some intellection, the reader will realize that it is an impossible task. This is because the human mind can only think in terms of bounded entities; thus, in the above mentioned case, the reader may have thought of a great many stars. However, the stars were finite in number and could therefore not represent the notion of infinity. In short, the finite mind can only conceive finite thoughts. Not only this, but, as previously disgussed, humans can perceive only ...

These are the people many of us (unfortunately) aspire to be; the lives we wish to lead, the sort of success we only allow ourselves to dream of. These celebrities, TV stars and movie stars all portray to be living the dirty little secret of “Beauty is truth, truth beauty.” They all seem to have the famous phrase tattooed on their foreheads when they’re interviewed on Entertainment Tonight, ...
