Copernicus and the Pantheon

There’s a fascinating interview with Walter Murch over at BLDBLOG. I strongly recommend that you go and read it. In it he explores the connections between the Pantheon in Rome and the heliocentric theory of Copernicus. It may all be fanciful, just a series of remarkable coincidences, but it’s a rattling good yarn, and it may even be true. Art and Astronomy combined.
