This is the first of a series on the Blue Revolution. Visionaries have of course dreamed of something similar, as for example, Homer's Odyssey from the 8th century BC describes the floating island of Aeolus . Jules Verne advanced his Self-Propelled Island in 1895, inhabited entirely by millionaires. Today, they would be billionaires. He mentioned submarines, and global adventures ( like Around the World in 80 Days ), even suggesting the use of hydrogen. But these were elemental topics, a few linking to our ultimate concept of a real Blue Revolution. Nicolaus Copernicus in the early 1500's formulated a model of the Universe that placed the Sun, rather than Earth, at the center. He had connections and was careful not to seriously offend the Church. He lived to a ripe old age of 69. Scholars like Fillipo Bruno of the Dominican order had a belief in other worlds. That was around 1600, and he was convicted of heresy by the Inquisition and burned at the stake in Rome
New SIMPLE SOLUTIONS for PLANET EARTH AND HUMANITY: This blog site derives from the original version of Planet Earth & Humanity, but will be more WE than ME. The coverage will remain similar, but perhaps these postings will seem to come from a parallel universe, or maybe even Purgatory. But truth and reality will prevail, with dashes of whimsy and levity to help make your day.
