About This Quote

Yes or No? It is not possible for a man to move the earth. This is an ancient riddle that has remained unanswered since ancient times. The answer, however, depends on whether you ask this question in light of what is possible or in light of what is impossible. The ancients believed that it was possible for a man to move the earth.

The Greeks were aware of this belief and used the riddle to create their own myths surrounding Atlas, the Titan who held up the heavens with his hair-covered shoulders. But are they correct? Consider this: If we accept the possibility of a man moving the earth, we must also accept the possibility of a man moving other heavenly bodies such as comets and meteors. Is it possible to move the earth and other heavenly bodies?
