I think it's clear that the world needs to have science presented again as a beautiful ideal. This shirt highlights (from the bottom foundation) the advances over 400 years in our understanding of our natural world. Can you spot 5 major turning points?

Thank you! I'm going to put a large sized image on my site (donandsummer dot com), as some of the detail gets lost in the preview picture. Merci, M. Crevax!

I'll try later today. Je ne parle pas francais (unfortunately). One of my best friends does, though, s he may be able to help. But, it is a quote from Gallileo: It reads, (in english): "Facts which at first seem improbable will, even on scant explanation, drop the cloak that has hidden them and stand forth in naked and simple beauty".

At bottom right is a diagram of an astrolabe from Ptolemy, which marks the beginning of the transition from the superstition of astrology to the science of astronomy. The text in the left diagram is from Copernicus, who was the man that popularized Heliocentrism. Unfortunately, he believed that the planets orbited in more or less circular orbits. Johannes Kepler later worked out that the orbits were ellipsoid, which helped lay the foundation for Newton and his Principia Mathematica, halfway up the picture.

i like how the line curves around the massive star-like thing in the center - gravity lens FTW!

For A-Me, my poor attempt to translate it (A mix of Google and some asking) is: Faits qui, à première vue sembler improbable, même sur peu d'explication, laissez tomber le manteau qui a cache et de se présenter dans nu et simple beauté.
