Galileo-Columbus
Galileo and Columbus taught us the basics about a circle. They both demonstrated our perspective is always relative, or we think we're on a line when we're always also on, or in, a circle (every line is the diameter of some circle). An idea and its opposite are both correct (in some eventual framework).
Galileo
Galileo's telescopic observations established that the earth is rotating, and revolving, around the sun. This was an important observation, at the time, because people believed, for religious, and historical, reasons, the sun was rotating around the earth. Galileo's change of perspective caused a revolution (rotation) in thinking (and discomfort within a major institution). Though we now believe the earth is revolving around the sun, it is important to pay attention to the fact the sun is also rotating and revolving around the earth; the moon rotates and revolves as well. (All three of them rotate and revolve).
Galileo Right and Wrong
This means Galileo was right, and also wrong, in his observation. Since everything is revolving and rotating, it is the rotating and revolving that is important, and not, necessarily, what is revolving around what. Especially because all entities rotate and revolve, eventually, what is revolving around what is always dependent on the observer's point of view.
Center is Always Arbitrary
Center for one observer may not be center for another. The observer, and the observed, are, again, necessarily, in a circle. How they choose to 'circle' is arbitrary, and totally up to them. So Galileo was right and wrong at the same time. The solar system, as we perceive it, is a temporary, at best, rotation-revolution (oscillation). This is an important observation in our time because people believe, for scientific reasons, the earth is rotating around the sun (definitely and perhaps infinitely).
Circle is Basis (or Center)
The circle, itself, dramatically, and importantly, changes this perspective. There is nothing definite or infinite about any rotation or revolution except they are both in a circular relationship with, and, therefore, caused, only, by the circle. (Only the circle can cause a circle.) Galileo's observations were, and are, circular (both true and false at the same time).
Columbus
Columbus also showed, and proved, the relative perspective forced on us by circles. Though things appear linear from a single point of view, all lines are diameters of circles. Columbus travelled into and over the horizon without ever falling off the earth, or disappearing completely. He disappeared from a stationary observer's, or one, point of view only. Until he disappeared and then returned, the circle was confusing our (limited) perspective.
Circle is Line - Gravity
We now know Columbus was travelling on a circle, even though observers were originally sure he was travelling in a line. This line-circle error is ubiquitous because all observations are dependent on a chosen point of view or frame. Too close, or too far, produce completely inaccurate observations. Columbus didn't fall off the circle, because he was held onto it by the line (line-circle relationship is gravity). We are never held totally hostage to our mistakes (the circle always protects us).
Circle is Everywhere
Fortunately, we have reached the time and/or space, where observers, equal or equivalent in form, time, and-or space, are able to see this. Everything linear must be circular, eventually, because any line is the diameter of a circle. Columbus proved that what we see, or what we think we know, is definitely, from at least one perspective, always wrong. On a basic and intuitive level, we all know this.
Galileo and Columbus Prove Conservation of the Circle
Without really realizing it fully, because the circle was in control of them, and not the other way around, Galileo and Columbus were proving Conservation of the Circle is the basis for reality. Next: Einstein and Jung, in a circle, proved the same thing...
