Transcendence

Transcendental concepts are broader than what falls within the categories that were used to organize reality conceptually.


Basically transcendence is  a elusive something like an idea that we might as well look at the center of the universe (the sun?), we will just never know with certainty.


Which is interesting because the sun reflects the basic examples of medieval  transcendentals, which are unity, truth, and goodness. We can all feel the sun in some way. Without the sun we have no warmth or plants growing etc..

Now Copernicus believed in a heliocentric cosmology (where Planets revolve around a stationary sun, with the sun as the center of the universe) because he looked in to the sky and read the patterns of the movement of the Stars.  

Or was he just transcendental having realized that the sun is the most important factor for our life on Earth. And therefore looked for a system where the sun is the center.

A proportion of the public still believes in the model where the earth is the center of the Universe (geocentric model). Approximately one in five Americans and Britons believe that the Sun revolves around the Earth, according to surveys in 1999, 2006. 
Approximately one third of Russians believe in the geocentric model, according to a survey in 2011.
